Car wont stay at operating temp.
My car has been doing this lately.It wont stay at operating temperature.Like if I drive and its not stop and go traffic it wont go to operating temp ,but if im sitting still it will go to operating temp.But soon as i drive a little it goes all the way back down.

do you have coolant in the car? if you dont have enough it might not flow past the sensor right...

u owe me $4,253.86 for that piece of advice.
Besides, I'm sure of this because I had the same problem. I didnt notice it till AFTER the temp fell below 100. And yes, its a pain in the ass to change. UGH

Its not HARD to change it, its just hard to get too it. At least for me. I dont like ish in my way, so I removed things that dont need to be removed. Plus... my back has seen better days, though I'm young. Its not hard, its just tedious.

at least it doesnt fail as much as the damn dizzy

follow the lower radiator hose, at the end of it will be this cap thingy with 2 sensors on it, remove that ( 2 10mm bolts ) and pry out the thermostat with a flathead. buy a new one from honda ( 22 bucks ) and put it in with the new washer, put some RTV silicone on the housing and put it back on and torque to 8lbs. attach hose, fill with coolant and let idle
^what he said except the RTV silicone. Use the gasket that comes with the honda thermo..... Gasket= rubber thing that goes around the thermo....

most likely it doesnt have a thermostat
All cars have thermostats...
unless some dumb a$$ took it out to cover a problem when it got sold.
If you are who i think you are,then you should know more about my car than anybody and the thermostat was bad
