If my car doesn't warm up unless it is sitting still, does this mean I need to change my thermostat?

Civic2Scooby

I would say you prob have a stuck open thermostat...so yes.

rampage918

Thanks A lot

Do you think I should get a performance thermostat? How about Jackson racing?

Civic2Scooby

I would go with stock unless you track the shit out of your car or have extensive mods that neccesitate the need to run a cooler block.

if you dont have very much performance stuff like turbo or something that generates high heat you dont need one plus even though the jackson racing ones are 160f they are cheaply made, and then you will need a fan switch b/c the fan wont engage b/c the 160 thermostat

Civic2Scooby

the fan will still engage at the same temp it used to, you dont need to change it...all the "performance" thermostats do is open sooner.

So a regular 170 shoul dbe fine right?

Civic2Scooby

yup yup..just snatch one up from your local dealership or autoparts store.
