Best Answer

If you are meaning that you are having to spin the starter longer to get it to crank on a cold morning then more than likely the coolant temperature sensor needs to be replaced. There are two sensors relating to the temperature of the engine. One gives a signal for the guage and the other for the computer. The one for the computer should be right beside the thermostat housing. It is what tells the computer that it is cold and the computer adjusts your fuel for a cold start.

Is 89 degrees hot or cold?

Hot or cold is relative. Certainly 89 degrees Celsius is very hot. But 89 degrees Fahrenheit is pretty warm, but not exactly what most people would call "hot". Consider that water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, so 89 isn't hot compared to that.
