i was racing through the mountain by my house up then back down driving really hard and i had my heater on and was blowing warm but on the way back down i was about to go to the gas station and i turned to my friend and said is it cold in here? and it was and my temp gauge was way way low like first line so i went to the gas station and popped the hood my rad wasnt hot so i was concerned by this but then i touched the engine and it wasnt hot either :S any ideas ? sorry such a long story

sounds like a cool mountain ride to me

[bikerskater]

so you dont think anything bad happen to make it to that?

So you're cooling system is cooling the engine (as designed), and you're worried something is wrong?

Man these 240s must be junk if people are worried when they're NOT overheating

Worst case scenario would be that the t-stat is stuck wide open.

Wait Wait Wait...Roseville has mountains?

Ya like they said its your car working normal plus it has been cool in our area recently.....

Oh ya I didnt see but your heater will remove heat from the system also plus going DOWN hill is less of a strain on the car.

if there's no coolant leaking, and you're sure your fans work. everything is great im sure of it. basically your motor was running comfortably.

I think he was just stating the fact that it was kind of like "Hey, its running normal, but something has to be wrong" kind of thing. I do it. every minute of the day. Thinking my KA is also a ticking time bomb.

Sarcasm. It sure is fun when it goes right over people's heads

I had the same thing happen to my s14. But my check engine light was on so I hooked up my scan tool and found the fault P0125 coolant temp too low for closed loop fuel control. Needless to say a new thermostat fixed the problem.
