running cool, too cool...

[ITRBoI]

think it's normal, cause my car only started to do the same, these couple of day,s maybe weels, but also, i've install a defi water temp, and that one reads spot on, but the standard guages still really low and that's after 1 1/2 hour of driving. I think it's just the water sensor is cold or something

mine does exactly the same thing, been wanting to find out what it is for ages.

it goes right down to the cold line when im on the freeway, but once i stop it goes back to the normal running temp after a while, it also tends to run almost at the right temp when im in traffic, wish i knew what i was thats making it do this

sounds like its a common problems for honda's???

hahah errr reset ecu ?

dats my solutions for everything haha !

lol alex, read it again man.

hes not saying the car is overheateing, hes saying a trick to use when a car over heats is turn on the heater and the temp goes down. so maybe the heater is already on, so thats why the temp is going down further.

but afaik, its not too much a problem. its just normal when its cold at night and ur giving it a hoot, the airs cold, and is being sucked in and giving u fresh air. if the temp goes under/past the beginning line, then yeah u might have a problem, otherwise it should be fine.

hehe, umm ok my bad then..lol

hahah errr reset ecu ?

dats my solutions for everything haha !

maybe this might work?!?!........NOT..

SHUDDUP ! go do ur work !

try it no harm in tryin ali !

i dunno what ur problem is exactly but if its relavent, when i drive my car at night, once its at "normal" temp, when i drive it hard, my CAI sucks in all that very cold winter air goodness and i notice the temp needle goes down a bit (like half an interval), then when i idle it goes back to "normal"... so i take it as the cold air coming in as it is winter...

That isn't the reason for the temp gauge going down. Cold air getting sucked in will warm up once it combusts. The reason the temp gauge goes down in that particular case is because of all the cold air hiting the radiator when you're driving!

See this thread..........it's even in the sticky

Yup... mine does exactly the same... but only recently

Could be the new air intakes i put in... but im pretty sure its just the damn cold ass weather outside... haha

thread is useful too!!

i was thinking of the same thing it might just be the damn cold weather is is making everything in the car playing up

im thinking of changing the thermostat, but just wanted to see what you guys thought of it. ill talk tomy mechanic and see what he says.
thanks for the input guys.
BTW: how do you reset your ecu pascoe?
have you done that b4?

yeap sure have man its like a 15min job...

haha call me ill tell ya ! its too simple...

my car would go to normal operating temp while i warm it up then while i drive go back down to the "C" somestimes even before the C. the needle would always sit iether right on the line or next to it??

I have had the exact same problem with my dc2r, when driving the car would go to normal operating temperature, then as i drive for a bit longer the temp would drop just a bit above "C" and this would continue to keep fluctuating for as long as i was driving.

I replaced the thermostat myself and after that the needle never moved from the normal operating temperature, try replacing the thermostat first see if that will fix your problem.
