What sysrems will you see on your 97 ford ranger when the thermostat has gone bad?
If your engine thermostat sticks open it will run cooler on your temperature gauge and you won't see the temperature gauge go up to the point where your engine thermostat opens and then the temperature gauge will show a drop in temperature , your check engine light will probably come on , your gas mileage will be less , the heat from your heater probably won't get as hot If the engine thermostat were to stick in the closed position your engine will overheat ( but there are several other causes for an engine to overheat )

Do you need a thermostat on a 95 Honda Civic dx?
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.

Engines are designed to operate at a given temperature, without a thermostat the engine will often not get up to the designated temperature. So it needs a thermostat to be sure that the engine will run at its optimum design rating.
