um???? I think I have a blue???? light when the engine is cold, but it goes out almost instantly in the summer, and only stays on briefly in the fall and spring. I actually know the exact water temps because I've been driving around staring at my Scan Guage. ............................??? |

What are you seeing for temps? Normally the Yaris will sit in the low to mid 180's F when cruising.

Dunno, ..............It was crazy. None of the 5 ARP studs would fit into the two outer holes, they refused to thread into the holes. At first I thought it was maybe just one bad ARP stud / or one of the outer holes was cross threaded????? NOPE -None of the 5 ARP studs would thread into either of the outer holes, but they all would easily thread into the 3 inner holes -All of the OEM hardware (studs or bolts) easily threads into the outer holes (as well as the 3 inner holes) So.........................right now I have 3 ARP head studs in the inner locations (where the bolts were) .............and the factory OEM studs in the outer locations (but with the ARP nuts) and then of course, 2 unused very expensive ARP studs in a bag in my tool box. |

I'll take my toy (The Yaris) for a drive tonight and pay attention to both the color of the light (when the car starts) and the water temp (in deg F) Will |

For my car on the freeway, my coolant runs between 179-184*. City driving goes from 180-190's. Parking lot goes up to 202, or around there where the fan kicks in. lol

It's blue on my Canadian Echo, takes a minute or two to turn off in the summer time. Never saw it turn red, even at lower speed road courses.

Just picked up extra coolant on Friday night (some is always lost when changing a T Stat) and then was busy with other crap all weekend. I'm booked the next few nights after work, so the first free opportunity is probably Friday night (to swap back to stock T Stat and then after that maybe also try the stock TB) W |

Once the engine gets past the cold start range, the coolant temperature is still used for camshaft timing control: "Camshaft timing control is performed according to engine operating conditions such as the intake air volume, throttle valve position and engine coolant temperature." So, I still think that Jason's take on the performance thermostat being the culprit has merit.

At 175, I can't imagine it's in cold start mode. Is the OP losing power at that full temp reading?

175 is over the cold start mode, but he said cruising that he was seeing 140 to 175. If in motion it stays down to the 140 mode, it will run more like the cold mode.

It's ok. We'll wait. We gave Astroman over eight months. You're good.
