im being a retard and cant remember. haha ok i am using a 180 and my temp never is normal. its always to cold. do i go with a 195 or a 170 to make the necessary change? im thinking the 195 right?

forcefedferio

195 i believe, just get a stock one from advance it should be like $13 or so.

shoklid

well stock is 180 i currently have and my temp is no where close to halfway mark. i also do believe it should b a 195. cause then it would hold the coolant longer and release hotter fluid creating hotter temp for whole system correct?

forcefedferio

ah ok, i thought the stock was 195 my fault.

are you sure your thermostat isn't stuck open?

also from my personal experience, none of my civics or my R make it to halfway in the temp gauge, i'm pretty sure that's just normal. They aren't buried on cold like it sounds you are describing, but usually just under half by about a needle and a half width.

shoklid

nah it was stuck open replaced it and now it runs so cool i still have no vtec. so therefore it is still to cold. the new thermo is reading on cluster like 1/4

shoklid

i wonder if i got a bad thermo even tho its new

I have had 4 civics so far (2 EGs and 2 Eks) neither of them would get to halfway mark on the temp gauge ever unless something was wrong. The 1/3 mark is a healthy place for the temp gauge to stick at.

Also, i believe your thermostat is fine if it is moving at all, especially if it is brand new!

shoklid

well i took it out and put it in diff water temps and its open all the time in the metal kitchen bowl i even used 200 degree water

Return it, and test the new one!

shoklid

just got another one installed it and now vtec works like normal but now got a cel code #23 knock sensor f#ck

i guess your thermostat is okay if it is moving still and if it is a brand new so just check it out..
