Running cool
Yesterday and today I noticed she was running cool. Just hitting the first line on the temp gauge. Previously it stuck in the middle. What could be causing this? Only thing I've done was change the fuel filter and run injector cleaner in the gas tank yesterday. Is running this cool ok? I figure being it's on the first hash on the temp gauge I should be ok.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Bob

Stuck T-stat maybe? Are you getting any heat from the vents?
