Looking for some opinions with this issue I'm having, I replaced my thermostat with a spoon t-stat, everything was good until two days after the install. The car kicked back an engine code reading P0128, I took it back to the tech who installed it, we ran tests and the t-stat is working, cooling fans are working, engine temps are slightly cooler and have not gone up what so ever, even in traffic. I called Hondata and was advised to remove the t-stat since racing t-stat cause more engine stress and could cause the ecu to bug out since its opening sooner?
Regardless I didn't take it out, I disabled the code and re-flashed and since then car has ran perfect with no code, I spoke with Spoon they replaced the T-stat for me, and I recently installed the new one. Bare in mind I didn't re-flash the ecu. I've taken the car on countless canyon runs, and two track days to SOW no heating issues, nor did the temps go up on track.
Two days ago, I figured I would enable the sensor again and reflash, well guess what the error code came back up! I had another tech inspect it and he suggested I should do a hard reset on ECU to remove the code, I told him we had done that the first time when I had brought back to the tech, he said it might be the t-stat (I don't think so).
I don't know what it can be? t-stat is opening and closing, fans are running, fresh coolant, I've tracked it and no heating issues, reached out to people who are running the spoon tstat and they've had no issues what's so ever... any advice?
