Hi All:

Did a change of waterpump and engine temp is around 80 even in traffic and air on. It used to run between 85 and 90.

Is this too low for the temp? Will it affect anything else?

Thanks in advance.

Aloha,
Eric

Sounds normal to me...Mine was always on the 80 mark.

Donnie,
How do you get your temp to stay right at 80?? I'd love to achieve that.. and actually have it stay there for a little while before going up. I definitly notice the loss of power when engine temp is 100 or more.
