Hi all, this problem has been going on for about 2 weeks now. It all started when I wasn't getting any heat from the heater. I figured it was heater core, so I dismantled the entire bloody dash, then it hit me. Check the thermostat. I did, and it appears that the so-called "high performance" thermostat I bought from Canadian Tire had opened once, only to get stuck and locked open. I guess it's good that it didn't stick shut, but nonetheless I fixed it. I put in a new MotorCraft one from Ford, done properly of course (whoever decided to put the thermostat on vertical needs a kick in the ***) and I have heat like never before. My problem is that the car now lags like crazy. It doesn't matter how much I step on it, it just doesn't have any oomph anymore. I am wondering if I maybe didnt hook something up right in the dash, or if there is something else causing it. PLEASE HELP ME, it's making me angry when a 2 door Civic can kick my *** off the line and up to 65.
Thanks!
Thanks!
