95 Civic Running Cold
I've got a 1995 civic with the 1.5L and it is running cold. About 3000 miles ago I had the head gasket replaced. After that job was complete I noticed that my fuel milage had dropped from 38 mpg to around 30-33 mpg and that the engine temp barely raised above the first mark on the guage. (For 309,000 miles it ran about 1/3 of the way up the guage)
I replaced the thermostat hoping that would be a fix, but it didin't. I just finished driving the car home from a 500 mile trip at 75 mph and the engine temp only raised to normal one time and that was when I was when trafic on the interstate stopped going up a mountain. Also, I know it running cold because of the outside temp. It was 70 here in NC today and the car temp didn't rise.
Any help or suggestions woudl be great before I take it to the shop.
