I reciently installed a Koyo Radiator, Lightened Steel Flywheel, Rb Race Clutch, New waterpump w/ sensor, factory cap, and thermo. I found a coolent leak behind my water pump housing. Tried to fix it, but cracked my housing instead. So I ordered whole new pump with everything on it and the sensor behind it. It made a big difference in how smooth the engine is. My car used to ilde "okay". But now it idles as smooth as any new car. I figure is the temp sensor for the ecu that makes my car run nice and smooth. It runs cool all the time, much better than how it used to even when I bought it. I just had to share my triumph over machine. It doesn't happen often for me. Also, mating the trans to the block without a transmission jack is a work out w/cuts and bruises.

Yea my temp. sensor for my ECU was broken, and for the longest time I couldn't understand why I had to fight with my car for a few minutes everyday to get it to start in sub zero temperatures. I replaced it, and VOILA! we have beautiful, easy start up, and nice normal idle
