i have a 94 ls and i noticed that lately my engine has been running really cold. i have a new hood on my car which somewhat exposes the engine but im able to touch my headers and just about every other part of my engine with my bare hands after my car has been running for awhile. is this bad? i know my therm. and temp. gauge aren't broken b/c i just replaced them.

Hmmm, sounds weird, i know that u shouldnt be able to touch the header with your bare hands without burning the hell outta them, i am not sure what would cause this to happen though.is the thermostat moving at all or is it staying at C.?

Try to replace the thermostat. There is a 'How to" at the top that I wrote up.
