How many thermostats did they replace?

You need to get a better seal.

He's saying make sure they didnt switch youre ECU with a Nonvtec one.. thats silly. Do you have a CEL?

Then jump your ECU and see what code is throwing.
The CEL thread is at the top of the page.

are you sure youre connecting the service Jumper correctly? sometimes paper clips are too big. try a small wire, Or just take it to advance auto or autozone and they will scan it for free.
