Default Re: low temp on gauge,2.3 engine 2002

I think all of the 2.3 Duratec have a tstat housing.

Mine is the original one. Last year, I removed the tstat and sanded it with a small wire brush and it started working just fine. You can remove the tstat from the housing (like I did, and it can be a pita). Ford won't sell you just the tstat.
