I know these engines don't make the waste heat that gassers do, but seriously, mine can't be normal. Where I live is out in the country, in 55 MPH zones and I drive threw town after a while.
Having said that, it takes (If I leave the heat completely off) about 10-15 minutes to get to operating temp
If I turn the heat on, it won't get past the 1/4 mark, and sometimes if I turn the heat on before it gets all the way warm it will start dropping it back down again.
I know if I was sitting still this is normal, but I'm talking even when I'm moving I have trouble.
O, and fuel mileage dropped about 10 MPG since it got cold (from 50 down to 40)
One person suggested replacing the thermostat, I bought one, since they are like $4 anyways. But I thought I'd get your opinion before I put it on.
Thanks
