I changed my air box thermostat last night.

The one I took out had a very small pin coming out of it, whereas the one I got from FCP Groton had a longer pin, at least twice as long.

I put in the new thermostat. Once installed the flap went over the cold air intake. Tight.

Questions :

1) The spring that is being pushed by the thermostat is very hard to push by hand. Is that OK? Should it be that hard?

2) I assume that the pin comes in or retract when the weather is warmer, and the spring can extend more. How can I test that the thermostat works well? I am want to make sure that I am not going to fry my AMM.

Thanks.
