i am curious about where the needle on the temperature gauge should be. right now, mine stays right at the "n" on "normal", and i think this might be running a little cool, keeping the computer fooled that it is in a constant state of warm up, making the mixture rich.

i bought the car used from a dealer and they had no idea if the previous owner installed a cooler thermostat than what should be in there.

the car runs great (smoked a friend's 99 Q45 by three car lengths the other day), decent gas mileage (18-20 in various driving conditions). i tend to be a little paranoid about my car, as the least little hiccup makes me run to the dealer like a little girl. is there such a thing as being a autohypochondriac????? LOL
