Small problem, need help.
 
87 n/a 156000m
The problem is: Engine running at half the temp all the time (city/highway/traffic) i would guess maybe 110F. It does seem to run a little rich. I have changed the thermostat (with Mazda factory part). I can get any sensor reading/info that it would take for anyone to help me diagnose. My engine runs very good no hesitation, good 6-port system.

Current mods:
Header, no cats, factory mufflers (sounds interesting)
TB mod, no thermo wax
k&n cone air filter with heat shield

The stock gauges are not very well calibrated. You may be golden just as it is.

i did this while i changed my thermostat (hooked it up without a thermostat for a few mins. just to see if the water pump was doing the job)
