Ever since I did my JDM swap, the H22 has been warming up faster than the H23 did. In about 1 - 1.5 miles of relatively low speed driving (~40 mph), the temp gauge is already in the middle. It takes a really long time for the engine to cool down. For instance, last night I drove 2 miles to school for class. An hour and a half later when I left, the temp gauge was still on the second bar and within a minute, it had already risen to the middle. The ignition and valve timing is correct.
Another problem I've been having is that the engine sometimes overheats, but only at night when I have the lights on and during sustained stop and go traffic. The temp gauge never goes past the middle when I drive during the day, even during really bad traffic where I'm stuck idling for 5 - 10 minutes. I'm thinking the fans sometimes aren't coming on when I have the lights on, so its probably a bad ground or another electrical issue.
I never had either of these problems with the H23, which had ~172k miles on it when I removed it.
Anyone care to guess what may be wrong?
Thanks
