 Subject: 180 Degree Thermostat Too Cold?
IP: Logged
Message:
I just put in a 180 degree thermostat and was checking to see if I had any diagnostic trouble codes last night, and I got one that says my engine stays cold for too long. Is this going to cause a problem, like preventing the engine from entering closed loop, or should I not worry about it? I have an '89 V6 TBI. Thanks!

Normally, the 180 t'stats will not cause this...the 160's do. What's the outside temp?

Outside temp is about 40-50 degrees. The needle on my temperature guage has stayed below a quarter since I installed it, but that was two weeks ago, and it was already getting pretty cold outside.

You should be fine even with the 180 t'stat in that temperature. Just let the truck warm up a little more in the AM.
Closed Loop is determined by many things...not just the Coolant Temp.
