Well, if you remember my thermostat dropped to cold right after my collision with the concrete. The car has been running for a little while now, though the thermostat still registers at cold. During repair of the oil pan, I took out the thermostat to see if it was phsysically broken, and it was fine. This left me mind boggled. Does anyone have any suggestions. Also, my heat and defrost only throw out air on high. Has anyone ran into similar problems?
