My jeep rarely ever leaves 100 degrees or whatever all the way to left is.
My question is WHY?
When I'm driving slowly 5-15 mph, it feels like its missing. Thermostat,MAP,TPS,IAC,O2 sensors all new. New plugs and wires.
My coolant sensor always goes off too......
Help, this is another winter off this crap, It runs and wheels so I put it off, but would like to know WHY?

Its an AZ jeep so I dont use heater and I know the A/C dont get cold either.

I'm willing to bed your temp sensor has gone bad. It's an EASY fix though.

Have you checked to see if the engine actually warms up? If after driving a while, the upper rad hose is hot, the t-stat has opened and your guage should read at least 180. If the upper rad hose is still cold, then your t-stat isn't opening. Check it out and let us know.

Yeah I highly doubt you're only running at 100 degrees. Sounds like a bad sensor.

Even if the thermostat was stuck open I doubt it'd run at 100 degrees. I guess it's possible on a cold day though?

Okay I'm back yes it gets hot (radiator hose). Where is temp sensor and any special tools needed to do it laying on my back or bent over fender?

TIA.
