So sir, this is normal and is better than buying and putting an electronic thermostat back on? I've had cars before that have manual thermostats but it never takes that much power away from the engine and will it have any direct effect on the engine? The car BTW is only at 65K on the odo (home - office daily driver) Thanks!
