Yes, a catalytic converter can make it run hot if it is plugged.
yes, otherwise the engine will run too cool and you will get horrible gas mileage
Yes It is not good to run any car without a thermostat. Initially the car will run too cold and use extra fuel as the choke will remain on, then it will overheat as the thermostat is needed to slow the flow of water through the radiator for it to cool effectively.
YesYes
yes
Today's computer controlled engines are designed to run on a very tight set of parameters. Simply changing the thermostat to a 180 degree would change timing, fuel mixtures, etc. Not necessarily for the best without reprogramming.
No you cant it would not work with out it.... sorry
It would, but it is not a good idea.
A thermostat is used to keep the engine set at a specific temperature. A Honda Accord can run without one in specific environments where the weather is normally hot.
