Cruzmsl Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 OK.... Here we go again with the engine temp thing.... My 2001 Bird just seems to run hot. Now, I had a 2000 Bird and I don't recall that it ran so warm. Maybe it's the calibration of the digital gauge...maybe it's the resolution and therefore "perceived" accuracy of the digital gauge over the earlier analog one....or maybe, Honda, in their never ending effort to please the clean air folks, has "leaned" things out when they went to fuel injection.... But the bottom line is that I've had to pull over twice for awhile because I reached that magic number of 251 degrees. Yes, in town driving, stop and go stuff and yes, it does cool down when I'm at speed on the freeway but it is just disconcerting to have this happen and I often find myself in the mid 200 range. I now that Carlos and other with earlier versions (non FI) don't seem to experience this (And yes, Carlos lives in a hot place) but I have seen a few posts from people with the fuel injected versions that report similar concerns. Now, I'm the guy that experimented with a 50/50 mix of Redline and water based on a racer's input and that didn't work...not to mention the additional heat generated by friendly "flaming" and I would still like to improve upon this irritating situation. Has anyone out there tried "Engine Ice" and if so, what sort of results have you seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
