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.
How do you gauge normal engine operating temperature?
Best way to tell your normal operating temperature is to visit an auto parts store and ask them what the OEM thermostat temperature is (or you can look it up yourself on Autozone.com). Most cars these days will have around a 190 degree thermostat. Your car will run slightly hotter than that temperature as it is needed to maintain the thermostat in an open position. With that thermostat you can expect to see the temperature of the water stay around 205-210. If the water temperature ever starts to get above 240 you should shut the engine down to avoid damage and have the cooling system checked. Temperatures above 260 WILL cause significant engine damage.
What does a car thermostat do?
The thermostat is a device which blocks the flow of coolant through the radiator until the coolant inside the engine reaches a certain temperature, at which point the thermostat gradually opens to allow enough coolant though to maintain the engine at its optimum operating temperature. The thermostat then controls the flow of coolant to keep the engine at that temperature irrespective of engine load and operating conditions. Without a thermostat and engine warms up more slowly and will never reach its optimum temperature. This causes increased fuel consumption and increased wear on the moving parts.

The thermostat also make the heater work much quicker in winter
Can a head gasket blow even if your car never got hot also can spraying your engine with water hurt your engine?
Yes, a head gasket can blow and cause the engine to overheat. Happens all the time. Yes spaying cold water on an engine that is at full operating temperature can possibly do some damage. Not likely, but possible. Spraying water on a warm or cold engine will do not damage to the engine. It may however damage parts such as the alternator, or some sensors. Never use a high pressure spray.
What does a cooling fan do in a car?
Automobile cooling fan can cool the automobile engine when the temperature of the automobile engine rises, ensure the normal operation of the engine and protect related parts, and reduce automobile failures. If the car cooling fan is not used, after the engine is started, the temperature of the engine rises during the driving of the car, which may easily cause the car to malfunction and even cause the car to spontaneously ignite.The above answer is provided by Suzhou Santian Precision Mould Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
What is wrong with my car if it spits and sputters when turned off after a long drive and is leaking a little water on the ground?
This is because your vehicle's engine is almost at the highest operating temperature as you drove a long drive and you may have shut the engine down without letting it to cool for a minute or two. here what happens is your engine is hot and the heat is exchanged through the radiator to atmosphere when you stop the engine it does not do as it runs. the stored heat energy in the engine rises the temperature and boils coolant when you shut the engine off immediately after a long drive. this habit is especially not good for some of the engine parts such as turbocharger, oil seals and rubber gaskets. I guess this is your case as i guess all other parts of your engine works perfectly.
Runs fine when is cold. What could cause rpm stall on a 1999 Mitsubishi mirage 1.8 liter?
If the check engine light has been coming on, start with having the code(s) read. The code(s) will help you diagnose the stalling problem. Your local auto parts store can read the codes for you at no cost. When the engine is cold the ECM (Engine Control Module) runs the engine on a predetermined program also known as an open loop. When the engine gets up to normal operating temperature the ECM runs the engine on information it receives from various sensors, also known as a closed loop.
Can an engine overheating extremely cause oil to burn onto the internal parts and cause an ongoing sludge problem?
Yes.
How do you change an air charge temperature sensor and an engine coolant temperature sensor on a 2000 Malibu?
It would be a very rare case for both of those sensors to be bad at the same time. I would have a certified repair shop to determine the exact cause before you buy parts you do not need.
Where is the thermostat located on a 1997 Dodge cummins?
Follow the top radiator hose to the engine, the thermostat is behind the bracket the radiator hose hooks to. Here is the latest for a Cummins Thermostat: A series of revised part numbers has been issued - check with a Cummins parts department for the latest. P/N 3934373 eliminates temperature fluctuation but engine warmup is slower and the operating temperature is lower than with previous t-stats.
What is the effects of corrosion on the computer system?
Corrosion can cause the main hardware parts to malfunction or simply stop operating. Corrosion on the power supply unit can cause short circuits and fires.
