1996 corsica runs cold
Hello to all, I am new here and I signed up to get some answers on why my brothers 1996 Corsica runs cold?
I have changed the thermostat thinking it was stuck open.
Nothing changed after that.
It gets pretty good mileage but I'm wondering if it could be better if it actually got to temp.
The only time it gets between the C&H is when its in the drive-thru.
It never overheats since changing a cracked radiator.
If anyone can point me in the direction to fix this problem it would be appreciated.

Assuming you installed the TStat correctly...
Could be a bad temp sending unit.
After running engine for about 20 minutes, feel of the top of the radiator.
IF you feel that it's hot, then it's a sending unit.
You could pull the Cap and check the actual temp with a Thermometer.
