Well i dont think I have time to take out the thermostat this week, but I was searching around online, and the coolant temp sensor stands out at me! Another guy had the same problem with his Honda, cold operating temperature with a significant decrease in gas mileage, which I forgot to mention which happens to me in winter...and its not because of the gas its substantial loss in fuel economy. I know where the coolant temp sensor is but was wondering if I needed a special removal tool for it? And another thing I read in my Haynes manual is that you need to partially drain the coolant? is that true or could I just pop off the top hose and let the fluid in there drain and continue with the removal?
Thanks you guys for your input!
