Default hot or cold...

welp my ej1 with the z6 motor is very hard to warm up. it takes for ever for the fans to kick on. and when im driving the needle will sit on the line right above the c mark on the gauge. i replaced the thermostat and nothing. the coolant is getting everywhere it needs to go. it blows out hot air out of the heater so its warming up. i cant figure it out could it be the water pump thermostat???

Edit: Forget what I had witten before. I would first check your sensor(s)[credit=wisel]. How hot is the air that is blowing out your vents? What thermostat did you replace it with? was it OEM? Did you bleed properly?

the water temp sensor? or coolant temp sensor?

on a scale of 1 to 10 the air is probably a 6 or 7

i replaced it with one from honda dealership

i let it warm up with the cap off. and before that unscrewed the bleeder screw until coolant came out then tightened it

where is the coolant temp sensor located?
