180* Thermostat

[runt]

So I picked one up tonight. The car gets warm, but the air inside doesn't seem to get "hot" like it should. If I let it idle after I've been driving for awhile, it will get "hot" and the gauge will go up, but after driving a short distance, that's all but gone. So I'm figuring thats bad.

 

But...my real question...the PCM doesn't require any type of tuning to run that thermostat does it? I didn't think about this till after I picked it up (wow...$10!) It's not that much colder so I don't think it'll hurt, and I don't think I'll notice that much of a difference with air inside of the car even in the colder temps.

 

Any input?

It'll be fine.

It'll be fine.

 

Thanks.

The ECM goes into closed loop at 170 somthing degrees, you will be fine with a 180 thermostat.
