Default Don't have a problem Over heating but UNDER heating

I will drive around for about 1.5 hours and the temp needle is directly under Cold. The hottest it ever got in the last 2 month was about 1/8.

I tried to search but everything was about over-heating.

Are there any other key words to search for?

When is the last time your thermostat was changed? Could be stuck open, causing the coolant to continuously flow and not allowing it to warm up.

I had the same problem in my LS, replaced the t-stat and everything was back to normal operating temps.

Exact same problem with me. If I left the car in idle long enough the car heated up but would drop down as soon as I started driving.

Your thermo is stuck open, make sure to buy a new thermo and the gasket. Cheap and easy, there is a team-integra.net article on a DIY. Here is the link.

I just went to a Honda dealer and ordered a 99-00 Si thermostat, since they were alot closer than the Acura dealer.

mugen makes a nice aftermarket thermostat, but it cost a pretty penny...just get the OEM you'll be fine! Mugen is just bling!
