Oil or Water temp?
I'm guessing you mean water temp... well yes the opt temp is about 80deg 60 sounds awfully low. Are you running an oil cooler? Have you checked your thermostat?
yea my 20v always sits at around a quater on the ae86 dash temp guage, I was wonder why the water temp is so cold, it doesn't even have got an electric fan installed yet, but then last week I drove my car to the city and there was traffic everywhere and my car overheated... I think it is my thermostat but my thermostat is still at the back of the head that seems impossible to remove it.![]()
not exactly sure but i think electrical (drops to 0 wen ignition is off), and it is in farenhieght, and yeah thermostate might be a bit of a mission to get to
water
no
The thermostat should be in the top outlet of the water pump.
ITs running at 60 Farenhiet? that equals 15 degrees Celcius, which is kinda cold.
It should be running at about 80 deg C, which equals 175 deg F
Edit:
Sorry dude, missed that.![]()
no i said 60 c in the first quote, already converted it. so running at about 140f
