So, yesterday I was bored and it was 24 degrees outside, so I decided to change the thermo in my car. Luckily, my garage is partially heated, so it wasn't terribly cold. I'm almost positive that the thermo's been sticking partially open. This was allowing the car to heat up ok, but not all the way. It was also causing the car to take a long time to heat up unless I was on the highway or not using the heater in town as the car was warming up. Regardless, I figured I'd change the thermo and see what happens. I picked up a thermo at the Acura dealer since it was a few bucks cheaper than Honda and the lady I talked to in the parts department at Honda in December is an idiot. So I took the thermostat out of the car, for my 4th time (1 time in my 96LS and 3 times in this 95LS). It was more of a pain than I remember from 3 years ago when I put in a Honda thermo. I have a strut tower bar and a AEM V2 intake now, so they made the removal more difficult than before, by being in the way a little. It sucks because I have frying pans for hands and this car was designed to be driven and worked on by people who were less than 5'10" and way under 200lbs I guess. I fit in neither category. I got the thermo out of the package and on the outer casing of the thermo there was an engraving stating 78 degrees Celsius which is 172.4 degrees Farenheight. It's the same temp as the one that I've had in there for 3 years so that's good. The lady at Honda on the other hand has no idea what she's talking about. She told me in December, that the thermo temp wasn't listed on the thermo itself and that I wouldn't be able to tell by looking at it, unless I had a receipt from 3 years ago with the part #. Both of those statements were false. So I got it fixed with no major problems or hiccups, and I decided to write this to give everybody a heads up on the correct temp for the thermo either OEM or aftermarket. The Haynes Manual says 195 degrees, so I'm pretty sure that's the fully open temperature since the thermo itself is rated at 172 degrees. So somewhere close to 175 degrees would be the one to by if not buying the OEM part.
