Starting Problem

[eaglebusa]

ok, l'm not sure what the problem is here, maybe someone knows real quick.

i have a 2008 5.3L V8 silverado.

i hit the remote start today before i went to work, because it is -26C out today.

it started FINE, then after 10 minutes(because i am not a morning person) it shut off, so i RE-started it with my remote...

it kinda hesitated, but did start...(odd)

this is when i went outside immediately. i went to unplug the block heater, and could hear my cooling fans screaming trying to cool down my engine like it was overheating!

i jumped in my truck.... temperature isn't even reading yet...(normal THAT cold)

but in my dash cluster it reads "ENGINE HOT TURNED OFF A/C"

so i turned the truck off.

it wouldn't start again until i tried it an hour and a half later when it got cold again, but when it did... same problem. cooling fans come on after 15-20 seconds

 

here's one thing that has got me thinking.... i DID have it in a heated place yesterday for 12 hours....

might something have melted and re-froze somewhere that has welded something i need to work from working??

 

please help. i need to work in the morning!

nevermind.... i called onstar, they figured it out for me..

You COULD at least tell us what the problem was so we can learn from it. That instead of just coming on, making 2 posts and leaving.
