Re: Engine running cold
I have a 95 PA with 177k and I'm having the exact problem that scoteric described in his thread. It started doing that at the end of last winter. When I start it on a cold morning it takes alot longer than it used to to warm up especially if i have the heat on inside the car. It will warm up twice as fast if I leave the heat off. I've also noticed that no matter how much i warm it up if it's a real cold morning and i get up to highway speeds or even like 80kmh the temp drops back down to bout 100 to 110 and stays there until i slow right down or stopped and iddling. My rad is full with coolant and my coolant resevoir is filled right to the line. I checked my coolant about a month ago just to make sure it wasn't burnt out and needed to be changed it was 100% fine. Like some of you described in your posts when i have the heater fan on lowest setting the heat coming out is much hotter and the engine temp tends to be warmer than if I had the fan setting on max. It's gonna be pretty cold here tonite so later when I go out I'm gonna try not turning the heat on inside the car at all just to see if it will run hotter at highway speeds..
