The biggest computer fans still only do 200 cubic feet per minute, yours is probably a quarter of that. 50 or less, which isn't enough for your car to idle (unless you have the 1.3).

:D it is probably blocking more air than it is pushing...

my opinion is that the fan has negative effect that you was expecting and it is not blowing the air but blocking it ;)

try to replace it by bigger one

This mod does not work, and never will. I learned it the hard way...
I know it sounds harsh, but I'm trying to save you some time.
Props for the effort, though!

No idea why the engine doesn't start BTW
