Coolant Temp Problems with Fix
I searched but didn't find an acceptable solution so here goes...
My friend Ted's '96 NSX recently started exhibiting erratic coolant temp readings. Even after the engine should be completely warmed up, the needle barely registers 2 ticks off the bottom. If stopped at a light it will rise slightly but never near the normal indication of half way up the scale. As soon as he is moving again the temp drops almost to the bottom of the gauge.
The searches I came up with seemed to suggest the thermostat ws the culprit so it was changed at the dealer yesterday along with a complete coolant flush. He got the car back today and it's still doing the same thing.
Any ideas?
