That works, if you can follow the wire diagram. I wouldn't suggest most people go prodding in the fuse box connecting slots.

Here's a question: For those of you who have a stock GTP (or remember when you did), what was the temp normally at? Because mine is normally a little below the bottom quarter mark. At least, it is when the engine's running correctly.

I'm 99.9% certain that the temp was acting up before I swapped out my thermostat, but I wish I hadn't thrown away my stock one so I could check for sure.

Mine runs right at that spot too - just on (or slightly below when it's very cold out) the first quarter mark.

OK, thanks.

Can anyone confirm Rook's number of 220 for the fans to turn on?

I don't mean to second guess you Rook, because I know you know a lot more about cars than I do, but that sounds awfully high to me. The gauge goes from 160 to 260, and I haven't even seen my gauge get to 220, even when it's way hotter than normal.

It just sounds a little odd to me, is all.

It was a guess on my part. Stock thermostat is 195 though. So, it won't kick on before that.

On my mom's car, the fans kick on right at 210 on the gauge. On my car, the fans don't kick in until the gauge says about 230. Somewhere in the 210-230 range is normal for the fans to kick in.

Hey, this is a kinda off topic question, but that's the difference between the 160 degree thermostat and the 180 degree one in the GP store? I mean, I know what the numbers mean, but what effect does that have on your car? I bought the 180 degree one, but should I have bought the 160 degree one?

And you're probably right about the fan temp. If you read the Coolant topic, I'm DEFINITELY leaking coolant now. It didn't used to be puddling on the ground, but now it is, so whatever it is, it's getting worse. I'm taking it to get it checked tomorrow. Since I poured more coolant straight into the radiator, I haven't had any problems with the temp trying to go sky high on me.

160 is for seriously modded cars. And if you live in cooler climes you will get an SES light for coolant temp too low. The bad part about that is the PCM thinks the engine isn't warming up so it adjusts the fuel tables and can really mess things up tune wise.

Nah, I live in Texas. I WISH I lived some place cooler. lol
