The function of a car thermostat is to ensure that coolant gets to the radiator when it should. It blocks the coolant from reaching the radiator when the radiator is cold, and then lets it flow once it is heated up.

My car is overheating with antifreeze and its bubbling over the thermostat also isn't working what do I do?
You need to have a shop check your radiator cap, water pump, cooling fan and thermostat for proper function...the most common cause for over heating is a thermostat that has gone bad and is stuck closed not allowing the coolant to circulate and cool the engine.

Do you have have a thermostat in 1994 Lexus gs 300?
Your vehicle should have a thermostat. Since the invention of all of the emission systems monitoring, thermostats have been used to help the engine reach optimal operating temperature, and allow the oxygen sensor to function thereby controlling the fuel mixture. Also if you live in the northern colder climate you will not have sufficient heat if you do not have a thermostat.
Why would someone do away with thermostat on 2001 blazer?
If you live in a warm climate you don't need a thermostat as much as if you live in a temperate zone. The function of the thermostat is to let the engine heat up to a certain temperature before allowing the coolant to flow through the engine. If you don't need heat or if the thermostat is bad, sometimes it's easier to just take it out and let the engine run cool than to bother having it heat up.
