Is my engine running too cold? Is the fan clutch activated by electricity? If so then how can I test whether the clutch is still working and how to get its correct connection wire?
Standard is an 87C thermostat. You should be running around 90C or so most of the time. Is your gas mileage poor? If so, then you may be running with the cold start injector going all of the time.
