Why Doesn't My Temp Drop? - Help!
hey people, whats up?
I got a 1998 Ford Mustang GT 4.6L Convertible
I dont know if i did something wrong, but after i installed a 180 deg thermostat, the engine temperature didnt not seem to drop at all.
at first i thought its because i was in idle and the fan doesnt turn on untill 195 degrees(as far as i know), so i did some driving on the freeway. but the engine temperature does NOT seem to go down, it feels like i have never installed a low temp thermostat.
I even went with a 160 deg, didnt help either
i KNOW how a thermostat looks like, and i DO KNOW how to install it, I also KNOW that my temp gauge is working properly.
the only thing that I dont know is: "WHY DOESN'T MY TEMP DROP?"
- is there another thermostat in the cooling system?
- does the computer not allow the temp to be below the 190-195 deg range?
- is my cooling system busted?
i dont know what the problem could be, so please, any help would be appreciated,
thanks,
Avdo
