Im replacing the thermostat on my 1999 2.4 cav
what's the OEM temperature?
Autozone has the
192 temp
180 temp
160 temp ratings
I was thinking about the 160 temp fail safe thermostat
I live in central Florida so is mostly hot weather all year around
what you guys think would it be any issues with ecu, would my MPG,s suffer?
Thanks in advance any advice would be appreciated

2.3 and 2.4L and ecotec ______ 180* t stat
2.2L OHV_____195* t stat

Haynes is your friend

160 is way too cold for an engine to be operating

thats no where near full operating temp at all

really


its all about the PCM and sensors and full operating temp






-96 cavalier 2.2 auto 143k miles

Thanks for the help guys I'm just go a stick with the 180 temp I'm trying to get better MPG,s
