sounds like you installed new thermostat upside down
if that's not the problem, you have wrong or faulty new thermostat
to test thermostat out of vehicle, place in pot of boiling water and watch to see if thermostat opens

What can cause your car to run too cool?
A faulty thermostat or possibly missing thermostat. The thermostat controls the amount of coolant flowing from the water pump through the engine and then to the radiator. If it sticks open it will not let the engine heat up to design temperatures.
What causes your 2000 BMW 528i to run hot?
The primary cause for a 2000 BMW 528i to run hot is a defective thermostat. A stuck thermostat will prevent coolant from flowing and can lead to overheating.
Is the thermostat the problem when my 1998 Pontiac transport overheats and the top radiator hose isn''t getting hot and the heater blows cold air?
It could be the thermostat. Open up the radiator cap when it is hot and see if the water is flowing in the radiator. If it is not then it may be a thermostat.
Why is my subaru overheating and blowing cold air out of the vents?
Either the thermostat is stuck shut of the water pump is bad. Make sure that the coolant is full as well, then check the thermostat and pump to see why the coolant isn't flowing.
Why is Water not flowing through car?
i am guessing, you mean circulating thru engine and radiator.if this is the problem, check the thermostat then check water pump.
How do you know if your 95 geo prizm needs a thermostat change?
Thermostat can stick open or closed. If sticks open, car will take longer to warm up because coolant is constantly flowing thru engine. If thermostat is stuck closed, engine will eventually overheat. In order for all emission systems to work properly, thermostat needs to be working. For 1995 GEO Prizm, if thermostat is working correctly, car should maintain proper operating temperature after is warmed up. If any doubt about thermostat, changev it every few years as is inexpensive and easy to replace.
Could your thermostat cause you not to have heat?
Certainly. If the engine coolant is flowing freely into the radiator, it will remain quite cool and the coolant that circulates into the heater core will never warm up. The thermostat blocks the coolant from entering into the radiator if the temperature is below the set level on the thermostat. Usually 185, or 195 degrees F. Engines don't run as efficiently at the lower temperature either, so if the thermostat isn't working right, replace it.
Will the thermostat in 1996 grand am keep the heater from warming the inside of the vehicle if it is defective?
YES...IF IT HAS STOPPED WORKING IN THE CLOSED POSITION THEN THE HEATED WATER ISN'T FLOWING THROUGH THE HEATER CORE.
Your polaris 600 keeps overheating within 5 minutes of riding you have checked and the radiator has fluid and you can see it flowing Does anyone know what can be causing this?
Not sure if these have one but it could be a bad thermostat.
Why is it running hot after you replaced thermostat and radiator?
if you have heat and and it is working OK. and if you squeeze the lower radiator return hose and feel water flowing. most likely it is the electronic fan not coming on.
What is the normal operating water temp on a 91 3.1L?
That all depends on the thermostat that is installed. From the factory it came with a 195 degree thermostat. However there are 180 and 160 degree ones available. Under normal conditions the operating temp should stay around the temp of the thermostat installed. Some fluctuation is normal, especially in stop an go traffic when there is no air flowing through the radiator.
Does the fluid in the radiator have to flow as soon as you turn the engine on?
No , the engine coolant will start flowing through the radiator when the engine coolant thermostat starts to open ( assuming everything is working properly ) Helpfull
