RAV-GT4 Forums Junkie Toymods member I supported Toymods Location: Rydalmere, NSW Registered: May 2002	Re: Car stays cold... (idle/temp problem) Thu, 21 July 2005 07:46 I let mine warm up for at least 5 minutes when it's been left sitting for a few hours or so, like overnight. I'm about to try it out again now, I'll report what I find here again when I get home. It has no problems usually when it's being driven, just the idle lately (last few days) has been intermittent when it's warm. Still no idea why it's doing this, but I do need a thermo-switch so I can reduce the warm-up time in the morning by a little bit. Currently it takes about 5 or 6 minutes to get to 34°C, at which point I start driving it, because if it's before then it's going to cough it's way up the road... just like berad said. EDIT: The thermostat was last tested when the head had it's repairs done in February. It opens and closes normally. What would cause a thermostat to fail?
