Overcooling

Hi my 1st gen was overcooling so i replaced the thermostat which appeared to be wide open but now my car is still underheating.
To much coolant?
Something else?

Thanks

That would make the fan spin really fast right?

I too am curious why you think it's undercooling? try checking the clutch fan like rotary rocket said too.

No matter what kind of engine, not running at operating temperature (too hot or too cold) is always bad for the block. I wonder if the temp gauge is bad? Get a pyrometer and start checking.
