Thermostat OEM Honda or MotoRad
The SNN-2000-195 model is good and I have zero complaints about it. I've used them for awhile now.
All I could get on short notice was a motorad...been in there over a year now and haven't had an issue. It's an OE 195 temp and seems to open around 205-210.
I found an exact copy of the factory thermostat with the baby one next to the primary the Amazon description says it’s good up to a 2000. It’s a Motorad. My temp never moves from the set point.
After getting a P0128 code and replacing the Tstat with an OEM equivalent from a parts house and my code coming back and then actually buying the OEM straight from the dealer fixing my code, I’m hesitant on what I should really put in my car since it seems to be sensitive to parts as well. I remember buying Tstats from AutoZone and never being a problem before.
Big fan of the Motorad SNN-2000-195. Works great.
Car takes forever to warm up and seems to always be running rich, so I'm guessing either the thermostat or ECT, or both, is/are bad.
I had issues with the MotoRad that every parts store in Canada seems to sell
issue that i noticed is that the jiggle pin is inside the bridge, compared to the standard one. i have installed the thermostat, bled the coolant, and still made sure that the jiggle pin and head gasket carve out lines up at the 12oclock position when installing; but now theres some ticking noise sometimes and i can feel my heater blowing really hot air (warmer than the usual heat).
Motorad isn't a good brand. You don't want to do the job again in a year.
Installed a Motorad thermostat and noticed the temp gauge dropping on the highway. I never had this issue before I changed the tstat
