It might be the thermostat staying open?Tricking the car into thinking its warm already.

oh actually there is a switch in the bottom of the radiator that basically tells the ecu to cold start it, and turn the emissions system on. the wires get pinched under the battery tray, or maybe the switch broke. it could be that too

Whats it look like i got to put the under panel back on tommorow so ill check it first. Another thing i noticed is the needle on the temp guage is sitting lower now. I dont know if its from the under panel being off, the sensor not reading right, or the new coolant?

You guys could do the TB mod and remove the thermowax assembly if you want. I guess the car will just warm up slower then.... I havent installed my modded TB yet so Im not sure of how it acts on start up.
