Thermostat opening temperature??
I own a 97 Prelude. I just bought a new Honda thermostat the other day, put it in and it didn't seem like it was opening. After a half hour drive the lower hose was still ice cold and my temp guage was 3/4 of the way hot. (almost overheating) I took the thermostat back out and put my old one back in that is stuck open. I'm getting a new Honda thermostat tomorrow.
MY QUESTION IS:
What temperature do the Honda thermostats open at?
The thermo has 78 degrees Celcius stamped on it, which would mean 110 farenheit. I tested the thermo in a pot on the stove and it didn't open until 170 F!!
Is this right or did I get an F'd up thermostat??
