I took my printer apart. Gone along all the parts, cleaned everything. I have only one possible proglem left: where should I connect my E3D's fan? Someone told me I shouldn't connect it to the FAN connector. So where else?

I have serious problems with my Solidoodle 4. I have an E3D V6 printhead which works well with ABS. But when I try to use PLA, nothing comes out of the printhead.
When I change materials, I usually extrude 100 mm of PLA. It comes out fine. After this I start a print, and nothing comes out. I tried the same roll of filament on my Witbox printer. And it is all good, works like charm.

I've tried printing PLA with the following temperatures: 190 C, 200 C, 210C, 220 C, 230 C and 250 C.
Tried slicing with Cura, Repetier and Simplify 3D.
The extruder's wheel is always clean, I clean it with a toothbrush.
Did anybody experience the same issue?

Having extruder issues and just order a E3D V6. If I follow the instructions on the front page, will the extruder fix a SD2?
Anything I need to look out for?

One thing that I wondering if it is a problem or not is that the heat sink is rather warm.  Don't know if I would say "hot" because I can touch it, but it is pretty darn warm.  The fan is tapped into the same wire as the hotend so it comes on as soon as I power up the extruder.  Should I do something different perhaps?
