What are the negatives of running a cold engine? I know we want to keep the intake temps. down, especially on a sc vehicle. But what are the negatives of running the engine cold? I had a 160' stat in my car at one point this summer but it kept triggering a check engine light and the temp. gauge wouldn't move. I put the 180' back in and have kept it in ever since. I live in NJ and the weather is starting to get cold so the 180's staying in. As for next spring I might put the 160' in. But isnt it bad for the engine to be constantly ran cold? I'm not talking just for the track, this is a daily driver and I don't want problems.
Thanks
PS: I have a csc incase you need to know
