How many minutes for an cold engine to reach normal operating temperature is it 6 - 10 minutes when is it to long and should the thermostat be replaced to correct the problem?

It would also depend on how cold is cold, 35 degrees F below freezing or 35 degrees F above freezing.

1993 roadmaster overheats and then cools down?
I would guess that the thermostat is not opening at the proper temperature. Once it does open proper circulation brings it down to the correct operating temperature. I think it should be replaced.
Can a thermostat work for motor vehicles in tropical climates?
Yes. The engine needs a thermostat to maintain correct operating temperature.
1987 Jeep Wrangler with a 4.2 automatic that runs at about 210 degrees what is the normal operating temperature and what can I do to get there?
The thermostat controls operating temperature. This occurs at a preset temperature (typically 195 degrees F. or so), which is usually stamped on the thermostat itself. The thermostat should be fully open about 20 degrees F. above the rated temperature. So your operating temperature is about right. If you have doubts, just replace the thermostat with a new one of the correct temp.
Why does the thermostat light stay on in the Kia while the engine is running?
Your KIA is either low on anti freeze or the thermostat is stuck and your engine is not operating at the correct temperature.
Could somebody tell you the right temperature for 3.4 impala 2000 thE CAR DONT HAVE THERMOSTAT THE TEMPERATURE STAY IN MIDDLE AND THEN IS GOING DOWN.?
Any Auto Parts store can tell you the correct temperature thermostat for your Impala. Probably it requires a 195 degree thermostat. One thing for sure is no thermostat is not what you want. Running without a thermostat, will cause the engine to not reach full operating temperature. The engine will not perform to peak efficiency at below normal operating temperature. Normally that is around 220-230 Degrees. Your engine is computer controlled and the computer bases fuel/air mixture and timing on the engine temperature. Install the correct thermostat.
Can you run a 1996 Honda accord without a thermostat?
Can? Yes, but should you? No. The thermostat is an integral part of the cooling & emissions system. The thermostat allows the engine to reach optimum operating temperature very quickly which is a good thing. Without a thermostat the engine will take much too long to reach this temperature and in fact it may never reach it's correct operating temperature. Engines run poorly when cold. Once the engine reaches its operating temperature (generally about 200 degrees F, 95 degrees C), the thermostat opens. By letting the engine warm up as quickly as possible, the thermostat reduces engine wear, deposits and emissions. The engine will get better mileage and last much longer. Install the correct thermostat and forget about leaving it out. There is no good reason to run an engine without a thermostat.
02 impala with check engine code p0128 this code is not found under emission codes what does this code mean and how do you repair?
It means the engine didn't warm up to the correct operating temperature. Thermostat is probably stuck open. Replace the thermostat.
What is the correct temperature thermostat for 1991 ford ranger 2.3?
195 degrees F
How do you spell themometer?
That is the correct spelling of thermometer (temperature measurement device).
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.
Replaced three thermastatschev cavalier?
either you are not using correct thermostats,or putting them in upside down,or thermostat is NOT the problem
