That's bad, your car isn't even in the operating temperature range. This will decrease MPG and increase emissions.

not trying to threadjack, but if you had this problem how would you correct it? i know drag cars use circle style restricors you put in the coolant stream, and if your running a stock 195 therm. you cant get a higher temp therm?, but you can change the closed loop settings in your tune if im not mistaken? is this the only way?

does it even read at all? do your fans kick on? if not you prolly need a thermostat or a coolant temp sensor. as your car should still reach operating temp as teal stated.

#180547 but i dont care what radiator you have your temp should be at normal when its fully warmed up. and 40 degrees isnt that cold my civic will warm up in like 10min of driving to operating temp.
