Re: 160 degree thermostat

Many OBDII vehicles have a code for "ECT below regulated temperature"... I forget the number, but I've seen quite a few. Just be prepared that there is a possibility you could get the SES light on if you don't alter the ECT sensor wiring (with resistors) to read about 20* higher than it actually is. If you ever take it to a shop, make sure you tell them that you did that, otherwise you might get billed for an hour of them chasing a ghost.
