Yes. It can trip a code and illuminate the check engine light. Today's engines are designed to run with a 195 degree thermostat.

it all depends on your thermostat most likely 180 but you canall ways change it out with a hotter or colder one but i wouldn't
Can a stuck open thermostat cause an evaporation of antifreeze?
A stuck open thermostat would make your engine run colder than normal. You'll see problems like your heater not working. Liquids can not evaporate to the point of loss in a sealed environment. Being that your coolant would run hotter under normal circumstances, this is unlikely.
Why would the temperature fluctuate in a 2000 Dodge Durango?
I would suspect a slow reacting thermostat, or one that is not correct for your vehicle. The thermostat opens and closes to allow the hot coolant from the engine exchange with the cooler fluid in the radiator. When the thermostat sticks or reacts too slowly the temperature of the engine will rise above normal, then drop suddenly as the thermostat opens, then the temperature may dip farther down than normal as too much colder fluid is exchanged than is needed to maintain operating temp.
Why is it colder then normal?
Because it's winter.
What is the water temperature of normal lake?
It all depends on where the lake is located at. Lakes in colder climates will have a colder normal temperature than that of lakes in warmer climates.
How do ocean currents affect temperature?
ocean currents may be considerably warmer or colder than the normal surface air temperatures. their effect is greatest when the prevailing winds blow from the water to the land.
When you turn the thermostat down from hot it blows cold air on a 2002 Chevy Tahoe?

since blue fire is colder than red fire i would think red spots in the sun are colder than the normal yellow
Would a thermostat stuck open slow performance and leave a raw gas smell?
It shouldn't. The only symptoms you should notice are a delay in the engine reaching normal operating temperature, and in colder weather a delay in supplying warm air to the passenger compartment.

In the "Normal" range? Lower than normal could be a bad thermostat Does heat work?
How can detect a bad car thermostat?
If thermostat does not open - Vehicle will overheat in a short time - no heat If thermostat does no close - vehicle will not get to normal operating temperature - no heat
How do you know if your thermostat is shot?
If the engine is overheating, the thermostat is stuck closed. If the heater is not putting out enough hot air the thermostat is stuck open. Change the thermostat as a normal part of maintenance when changing coolant.
