Maybe caused by the Stage II chip.

That even sounds more like open-loop. When you're in open-loop the PCM
stops reading O2 sensors and adjusting your air/fuel mixture to lean it out
(for emissions). Instead it uses the built-in tables which enriches your
mixture, kind of like the same thing as when you want power and you put your
foot into it.

It runs better in this temp range than the 180.

I should have said "It COULD put you in open-loop, not that it definitely
would" Have to be careful here, Bernd will have me eating cat again! ;-D

Actually that's more bad than good. 140-155 puts you in open-loop. A "good"
t-stat should close if the coolant gets too cold and open up again when the
coolant reaches the correct temp.

I did noticed on hot days it rides the 180 mark and cold days it rides in
the 140-155 mark. Amazing thermostat.
