Hey guy's I have a problem... when I drive in the city my engine temp is regular and then when I go faster on highways it nearly drops to cold it's been doing this ever since the weather changed can anyone tell me what this could be... this car is really pissing me off theres also a gas smell when I get out and I just got my filler pipe changed that was rusted.

all u need is the actual thermostat.  dont exactly know how much this would be but i dont imagine it to be expensive.  replacing it is a piece of cake so no worry there  wink.gif

I just changed mine today, the thermostat itself was 4.99 with a 99 cent gasket and a 1 dollar tube of gasket silicone sealant. Oh yeah and a bottle of coolant. Took me about half an hour to do.

This is not a problem:).It has an explanation,you are not pushing your engine at high revs and the heat it not at high levels cuz your car its moving fast and cold air goes direct to 6GCs large radiators (its not the same like having the car at idle beacuse the car its parked).I drove many Celicas and all of them are keeping the temp at low levels.

Mine was running at low temperatures on the highway at high speeds and now that I changed the thermostat it maintains a constant engine temperature, even on the highway. Yes, it will cool down a little bit at higher speeds but it shouldn't be running cold (gauge should still be somewhere in the middle)
