Kevin;
        As I understand it; running at below proper operating temperature
causes the engine to run rich. This in turn washes down the cylinder
walls(of oil) causing greater ring wear and a host of other problems.
         On the flip side this may be a solution for Boston Bob's lean
running problem. Increase/add resistance to the TEMPII sensor, fooling
the ECU to run richer!?

Good Luck and Drive Safely
