Want this question answered?
It is intentional, it is called high idle. It helps warm the engine to proper operating temperature.
The engine thermostat controls the flow of coolant to the radiator , it allows the engine to warm up before the thermostat opens in order to limit the maximum operating temperature.
yes, in park, at operating temperature (let it warm up for about for about 5 minutes)
it is vacuum vavle controled by engine temperature. mostly used until engine gets up to normal operating temperature, or after the engine gets to normal operating temperature. depending on what is hooked up to the vavle. i hope this helps Answer your question.
the starter may be worn on your car if it starts up easily when its cold but slowly turns over when it is at the operating temperature. Replace the starter to your engine.
A thermostat blocks water flow until the engine reaches operating temperature. Without a thermostat installed the engine will be very slow to warm up in cold weather and interior heat will be delayed.
Yes, you most certainly do. If you have no thermostat installed then the engine will take a very long time to reach full operating temperature and may never get to the proper temperature. The thermostat allows the engine to warm up quickly which helps prevent engine wear, reduce engine deposits, and emissions. The thermostat keeps the engine at the proper operating temperature for the best performance and best mileage. Running a modern computer controlled engine without a thermostat is a very bad idea.
Not functioning properly If stuck closed engine will overheat--no coolant flow through engine. If stuck open--vehicle will not warm up to normal operating temperature - no heat in passenger compartment--poor fuel economy
To let the engine warm up by closing flow of coolant. When operating temperature is reached the thermostat pops open allowing full flow of coolant. Totally necessary in winter !
Yes you do. it is there to speed up the rise in temperature of the engine components to reach optimal operating temperature sooner which prevents damage to the engine.
It means the engine didn't warm up to the correct operating temperature. Thermostat is probably stuck open. Replace the thermostat.
In very short: If the thermostat stays open, the warm-up time for the engine will be significantly longer, resulting in unwanted start-up wear. If the thermostat stays closed, the engine coolant can not circulate through the engine and cooling system, resulting in the engine overheating, as the coolant is used to keep the engine in a specific operating temperature.
