2 questions: Cooling fan and engine

One, my cooling fan runs nonstop whenever the ignition is turned on. Is this a switch malfunction or thermostat?
Second, about every third or fourth I turn the car off, the engine will almost stall, run for about another two to three seconds, and then die.
Any ideas what causes that???
Thanks in advance.

There is a thermoswitch on the bottom of the radiator. If it is bad it will fail in the "on" position, its sort of a safety feature so the car wont overheat.
That could be your problem.

you have run on. It is probably caused by a) leaky injector(s) and b)dirty combustion chamber with hot points to ignite leaking fuel.
Fix, better gas and run a good injector cleaner and combustion cleaner through. Lubromoly Jetron worked for me.

If the engine will continure to stubble and try to run, after you shut the engine off, is usually an overheated and too rich engine.

One of those things I have never had to fool with on my cars, so I am clueless. I guess I can look through my Bentley, but any other help would be great. Thanks.

We need to develop a mod to run the AC fan for a few minutes after engine shutdown to lower engine..
