Default '93 Legend Coupe Not Warming Up
My '93 Legend Coupe takes a long time to warm up, like maybe 10 mins before the temp needle moves away from C. After warm, then I take it on the open road (ie,freeway) and then the needle drops to COLD, anybody else experience this situation?

replace the faulty thermostat, most likely your t-stat is stuck open, which actually usally means the rubber btwn the 2 portions is worn out and lets coolant flow thru. our suggestion would be to use a OEM acura t-stat, theyre inexpensive. you can order one from acura of augusta in GA

also since youre in florida, check out the meets section for our upcoming meet
