running cold!!

[rice]

ok, the car 94 dx 7afe 5 spd, recently its been running a bit cold, usually it runs just a lil past the center-mark (on the temp gauge) but lately the needle is slightly below that line, whats going on here? my driving habits are normal, nothing have changed, didn't put or do anything to the engine, etc etc....all of a sudden it just happened, anybody have a guesstimate on whats wrong/what happened? thanks

thermostat........

That or the temp changed...
Does it take any longer than normal to get to that point?

[freakinbox]

try the thermostat. since it's the cheapest to replace.
might be the temp sending unit, not sure what to look for on that thought, on the 4af it's on the thermostat housing.

I'd say check the Thermostat or the Temp sender.

Just to let you know though, my '95 has always run just below the centre mark. The one time it got above the centre line, i had lost all of my water and the engine siezed...

Change your thermostat, its a 1hour $15 job.

At the same time have a quick check of your radiator cap, coolent, and water pump.
