just do a search for "cold starts" or skim though the pages, you will find something. If not, that is the place to ask questions like this :)

2 things... either your thermostat is missing (like me) or your have a malfunctioning temp gauge.

if his gauge moves to show he's at a proper running temp, I doubt it's in the gauges, probably a thermostat stuck open, better than it being stuck closed though, way better.

from what i can tell my fan is always on, at least the one closest to the engine, not the farther one (maybe it is too) closer to the radiator. Is everyones always on like mine, or is it just me?
