If the flaps need to fully open in cool weather, then the engine must be
overheating in warm or hot weather. The thermostat will modulate the air
flow in normal operating conditions.

anyway I can go out in the AM, manually close the flaps while it warms
up, then flip them open after 15 minutes and head on my way?
