Took the old beast out for a little ride after the coolant temp sensor was replaced. I hooked up the ODB reader to check out the coolant temperature. At 77 degrees the needle is horizontal. At 111 degrees (after some city driving and idling) it's still horizontal... what a joke. However, it didn't go up over 111 degrees so it seems the cooling system is doing it's work, but I read somewhere over here that it should be 108 degrees? Is 111 within range? During driving it hangs around the 108 but it can go up a few degrees.

As a side note, the SAP is even worse now when warm, it runs ofter and it needs revs to get it to turn off again (code P0115 keeps appearing). O2 sensors seems to work fine, no discrepancies in the readings. Would the thermostat be circumspect?

was a nice evening though...
