engine running warm in 2002
Hi All,
we have a Millenia-S 2002 and it seems to run warm. The guage is about 4/10ths up so it is just under half-way. All fluids are fine, so I'm wondering if the miller engine runs a bit hotter in general conditions. My wife drives it so I know she keeps the RPM's down. I also believe I've smelled burning rubber from time to time while driving the car. It isn't constant, and again, when I look around, I don't see anything strange. The car has 52K miles. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.
Thanks.

RE: engine running warm in 2002
sounds normal to me. if the car is too cold, the ecu will think it is still in cold start/warmup phase, and will run rich. emissions will be higher, and there will be a loss in performance.
