my b16a1 is running cold i just did the swap and its not comming much over cold i'm getting heat though i was wondering if i get a different thermostate will it run hotter in the summer......to hot.......my stock D series motor was running at like half the temperature gauge the B series is running at like like line above the C when i'm driving down the road is the B motor suppose to run colder then the D but in warm weather it runs similar to the D

WIll a D series thermostate fit a B

im having the exact same problem. i was told either my thermostat is open or i need to replace it, havent got around to doing it but you should check that out!

Thermostat is stuck open and/or rad fan is constantly running.

negative... makes no difference as long as the thermostat works properly.

I'd go with a faulty sensor.. I drove without a thermostat until about two weeks ago and my car warmed up no problem ( '89 si )

My moneys on the thermostat. It could be stuck open or sthe spring inside has gone a little funny causing it not to work properly.

$30 for a thermostat and $15 for coolant = stay warm during winter

Makes sense in my books

Thanks guys for the info i thought it was a sticky thermostat so i went to canadian tire today and got one.........i'll change it tomorrow and let you know how it turns out...........


Thanks Justin

take the old one, put it in a pot and boil it.

see if it opens up, atleast then you'll know 100% that it works/doesn't.

you'll see it slowly start to open, it's not instance so don't worry about it springing open and splashing boiling water everywhere, heh.

and when you take it out it'll slowly close as the element cools off.

if you look at the rubber that seals the thermostat openinig not the housing you might notice that the rubber is hard and broken in places this will cause the coolant to leak past the thermostat this will most likly be your problem the car will only warm up a little the problem your having good luck

had the same prob on my 88 crx, changed the thermostat and that was it have never had the problem again. the thermostat is stuck open thats why the motor is not getting up to proper operating temperature
