electric fan=ice cold
Today was probably the coldest morning 30% since i had my electric fan.i had new radiator hoses,coolant flushed and switched over to toyota red stuff this past summer.anyway this morning i let the car warm up before i left to get my NEW EXHAUST.on the way to the shop the temperature gauge was at the 1st marking from the bottom no big deal but when i turned the heat up i noticed the gauge dropped all the way down it was not registering i thought something was broken(here we go again)i pulled over to check and everything looked fine.i shut the heat off and the needle started to register again back to 1 marking up from the bottom.usually in the summer months it is almost at the halfway point.have anyone have this problem with their car running cold and is it a problem.i almost wanted to unplug the fan to see if the temperature would increase.should i be concerned or is this what electric fans do especially on a cold morning.i will have to wait until i get my car back since the exhaust job was not finished.let me know what you guys think.

the thermostat was replaced.the car was not cold but i felt it needed to be warmer.the temp was set to 70 so i turned it up and usually i would feel the warmer air instantly.the temp gauge was registering but very low.

got car from the shop today' headers through muffs all new baby.who ever said these cars was a money pit was right.1100 after ordering parts and having it installed with custom piping.and something else always pop up or i want something done.temp gauge ran warmer today but it was also a little warmer.may get new thermostat if it gets outta control.but first i need to figure why i'm hearing vibrating noise after exhaust install(i think header is vibrating on engine mount piece)always something.
