i have figured out that my car is stuck in cold start mode. this is why it redlines so low and why the vtec isn't working. i have a new mugen fan switch but a stock thermostat. when i start my car the heat gauge on the inside slowly rises but the fan never turns on. so my question is: can it be that my thermostat is broken even though the heat gauge is working or is it something else? your help is much appreciated.

could be temp sensor bad......

 

ok im not 2 sure about this, but i have heard that if u have a mugen fan switch u need the mugen thermostat to work properly...im not sure about that, but u might wanna change the fan switch to stock and check it like that...let me know what happens
