NEW thermostat stuck open?

Mellow said:
Okay don't work yourself up into a riot. At the time, didn't know about JIS screwdrivers and I didn't hit the impact driver with 100 lbs of force LOL! I simply tapped it to loosen the screws and it worked perfectly without damaging anything.

Yes but in the wrong hands...

To close this out, Did a throttle body sync as well as the new new thermostat, and all is well and smooth.
Yes I got a brand new bad thermostat. These thermostat's don't have to be very "bad" to be bad.
The end!
 
Great News! Enjoyed our talks on the white courtesy phone.

And thanks so much for YOUR time and experience. Yes BTW there ARE 3 best tabs holding the rubber blanket. Why I correct you is beyond me..
Hit some ice this morning but all is well! Just a little ice...
 
just reading up on this thread for my new to me 06 1300 with 22K and is experiencing similar temp reading. Looks like i need to test a few things.


In the driveway idling she warmed up to 3 bars at 37 degrees. I rolled out of the driveway to 40 mph and she dropped to 2 bars. I hit the highway (60-75) and she is toggling between none to one bar. I get into traffic she bolsters up to 2 and 3 bars. i then roll on up to 40 mph and drops to 2 bars. Based on the reading you all have provided it may/may not be a bad t-stat. Time to roll up the selves and do some digging.

If it goes below 3 bars after having time to warm up, you'll probably be replacing your thermostat! I replaced mine in my '05 @ 17K.
