do you have an ECM to take advantage of the colder t-stat

you really need to have other modifications to take real advantage of a colder t-stat.
it tricks the computer into thinking the car is still in warmup longer and thereby dumping more fuel.

Hi,

without a t-stat would it cause the ecu to continue to warm up the engine when the engine is already warm, and use alot of gas

running without a t-stat doesn't allow the engine to maintain a constant temperature
