Facelift 4.0 Cold Weather Coolant Temps Needed
I have an unusual problem for an XJS...
It seems that my engine does not come up to temperature!
It's been no warmer than 30F here in the DC area and my needle stays left of the N, closer to C.
I checked the temp of the coolant with an IR gun as well as taking readings from the OBD port... 168F
168F!
Is that too cool? I'm asking others who are experiencing cold weather to see how your 4.0 is running.

I have done it several times because I am always paranoid about thermostats sticking. Never drained the radiator, just do it fast with the engine cool and a large pan underneath, then refill the reservoir tank.
