Message	Seems that at a prolonged idle my car was running at 170 degree. The manual calls for 190 operating temp. Was wondering if the fan clutch could have been the issue. Seemed to work ok but wasn't sure. I jsut replaced it with a "good" used clutched. My car failed emmisions at idle. The scope pointed out that the O2 were reading rich and not cycling at idle. I also have UD pulley with Hi Water pump pulley.
