Possibly a bad CTS?

I noticed no matter what i do my car run a little high in the temp. Run above half, probally half way between half and 3/4. No matter what i do its the same. No matter what temp it is out side its the same. How does one check the values of the coolent temp sensor? How many coolent sensors are there?...

The only time i ever double clutched is when i blew up the 3rd gear syncros in my old neon, Only way to get in or out properly was to double clutch that gear. It sucked!

Deffently go with a ss clutch line. Will stiffen up the pedal a bit.

You need either a mx3/mx6/pgt/626 5spd transmission. MX6/626 woudl be best for the highway. MX3/pgt would be bad on highway but with a more performance setup gearset.

Is there anything to be gained my keeping it? Yes, easier starts during warm/hot engine conditions, I've already said that. If it ain't broke......don't fix it!!! How simple can we make it?? Leave well enough alone I always say. yes if it aint broke dont fix it...BUT how do you tell if its broke?

Is there anything to be gained my keeping it? What about people that run adjustable fpr's? do they go through the trouble of hooking it back up?

Do you mean just bypass that selinoid? or do you mean unplug the vacume source to the fpr alltogether? As long as you had a good solid vacume to teh fpr it shoud run the same. I believe that the seinoid your talking about bumps of the fuel preasure on startup to make startign the car easier But im n...

I wish i had e85 too. Its alot higher octane, yes you will loose some power if you run it as is becasue You need more timing to take advantage of it. A little more fuel preasure helps as well. Like running 110 octand in a chevette. Of cours its gonan run like a--. Now tung the chevette to run on 110...

Since when was cooling the air at any preasure rating a bad idea?? If you got a good flowing intercooler, didnt go too big (preasure drop) it would only help thing run cooler, espically in the summer and on a car not ment for boost from the factory. At t25 aka T-too small would be ok....if you ran 2...

Uhhhh, just a note, but why did you use paint thinner? It will eat every gasket it passes by... :roll: Good deal on the motor Hector. Glad it is finally running well and hope your new problem is a simple one. Becasuse mixed with a full tank of gas it gets watered down enuf to not eat gaskets. Besid...
