1. Engine running too cold (score: 1): Author: "Bob Donahue" <bobmgtd@insightbb.com>; Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2005 00:36:45 -0500; My B engine has a tendency to run too cold. During the dog days of summer it's great to have the temp gauge stay right on the N. But at 60 degrees F the gauge only gets up about half way to N, and at; /html/mgs/2005-12/msg00079.html (8,277 bytes)
