How pathetic what do you expect in 50C wonder it didnt cook itself to death running a engine in 50 degrees celtigrade ambiante air temperature
Testimonial: "Not sure what you are talking about...not sure where you are located but it was 50 degrees farenheit...dont think it is pathetic to drive my car in 50 degree farenheit temperture."
well please use centigrade ,this old scale went out of use 40 years ago as i was only taught in centigrade ,but 50F is about 4or 5C which is cold so yes you have a problem but upon reading the question you state 80/100 temperature well in centigrade this would be normal as the thermostat opens at 82 to 92 C depending on the model or type of the engine so if you working in a ancient scale then your engine is running cold and i would suggest a new thermostat failing which as a stop gap measure if the interior of the vehicle is too cold then slide a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator

hi ben
my answer would be yes i would wory about it...
Guages are put on vehicals for a reason not just for looks i would have the car hooked to a diagnostic center and checked even though the guage may be faulty but i wouldnt take a chance
SOURCE: idle to low
The idle is electronic, possible causes of this could be the idle air control valve, mass air flow sensor, and air hose from filter. You can verify if there are any leaks in your filter housing with a visual inspection, you can also remove the mass air flow sensor very easily and see if it is clogged with dirt.

The smoking is probably due to worn valve guides.. the oil from the top..the head.. is leaking past the valve stem into the cylinder.. next morning or a few hours later when you start the car.. it burns this oil up..and the problem although still there is much less noticeable.. cause the amount leaking is minute..it's being burned as you drive.. otherwise it takes a while for it to accumulate.. It could mean a minor head/top end rebuild to a minor overhaul..
The emissions problem and the idle problem may be linked.
First make sure your throttle cable is clean and working properly. They can get dirty.. sticky..or even a weak spring.. but dirt rust and grime..biggest culprits.
There is an IAC (Idle air control) valve attached to the throttle body.. you may be able to spray carb cleaner into the closed throttle body to clean it.. You may need to replace this part. It can really get clogged with carbon.. and cause this high idle problem.
Next.. replace or remove/clean/reinstall the EGR valve...probably better off just replacing it.
Check all vacuum lines for cracks..replace as needed..vacuum hose is cheap.. and lastly.. do a minor tune up.. plug wires.. plugs (properly gapped of course). air filter and fuel filter..
Your car will probably pass the smog check even with the cold startup burning oil issue.. that's not what's causing it to fail..it's the EGR valve and possilbe lack of recent tune up.
You can continue to add oil between changes.. use a heavier weight.. and check often.. Once consumption gets more than a quart or so between changes..you can contemplate the real fix... or start pouring anything with the word miracle into it.(grin).
Great little car.. Best of luck!
