Isuzu rodeo heat up but get cold when driving?
change you thermostat it is stuck open or not closing fully. This allows the coolant to circulate to quickly.
What is the bottom hose on the thermostat housing on 92' corsica its leaking anti-freeze?
Perhaps you mean by-pass hose. It allows a small amount of coolant to circulate in engine prior to thermostat opening
On your 1995 Olds Aurora it runs too hot fan works new water pump coolant thermostat as well as a radiator flush how do you fix it?
If everything else is normal, one way to reduce the engine operating temperature is by changing the stock thermostat to one with a lower temperature rating. This temperature rating is the temperature needed for the thermostat to open which allows the coolant to circulate around the engine.
What does the thermostat control?
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.
What is water's function?
Water pumps are belt driven pumps used to circulate engine coolant (50/50 water and antifreeze) through the engine, around the combustion chambers. Passages direct coolant near the intake and exhaust ports & spark plugs. As the engine reaches normal operating temperature, A thermostat opens and allows coolant to flow through the radiator, cooling the coolant, and then returning back to the engine. Tom
Where does the hose from the thermostat housing connect to the engine?
The hose coming from the thermostat housing connects to the upper part of the radiator and allows coolant to flow into the engine...

What is a oil coolant hose?
An oil coolant?æ hose is a tube or pipe that allows engine oil to circulate via the radiator in order to cool down. Without an oil coolant hose, oil will get to hot to operate efficiently.
What is the thermostat and gasket?
The thermostat is a mechanical device that restricts the flow of coolant in order to allow the engine to reach it's operating temp more quickly. It then opens and allows coolant to flow but will hold the temp at whatever is the set limit of the thermostat, usually around 190 degrees. The gasket is what prevents it from leaking.
Does the thermostat control the heat in your car?
No, the thermostat controls the temperature of the engine coolant. As long as the coolant temperature is below the thermostat set-point, the thermostat remains closed. Once the temperature arrives at the set-point, the thermostat starts to open, sending heated coolant through the radiator. The radiator then cools the heated engine coolant and the water pump forces the coolant back through the engine. The heater control valve allows more or less of the engine coolant through the heater core. Since the coolant should be very near the set-point temperature of the thermostat, you should be getting hot water through the heater core to warm the inside of the vehicle. The engine coolant is there to keep the engine from melting down or from breaking metal parts and burnng off the oil. It just happens that the heated coolant is useful to warm the inside of the vehicle.
How does a thermostat work in a jeep?
If you follow the upper radiator hose, you will find the thermostat housing, the thermostat is inside this. Please ignore the idiot who replied to this question earlier, he obviously has no idea what a thermostat is. The thermostat stays closed until the coolant inside the engine reaches what temperature the tstat is, at which point it opens and allows coolant to flow through the hoses and the radiator to cool it before returning to the engine to continue the cycle.
How do the pumps thermostats radiator and coolant in a car cooling system maintain the motor at a relatively constant operating temperature?
The thermostat is key to maintaining relatively constant temperatures. It is basically a temp. sensitive spring operating a plug. It can be open or closed or partially open, depending on the engine temperature. When the car is cold, the thermostat almost completely prevents coolant from entering or leaving the engine. As the engine warms up to operating temperature and higher, the thermostat opens and allows coolant to circulate from the engine to the radiator. If the engine becomes too cool, the thermostat will close again. Coolant circulation is aided by the waterpump. When the engine's heat contained in the coolant reaches the radiator, it passes through a maze of finned tubes which allow the heat to transfer to the air flowing through (sometimes aided by a fan) the radiator. Now the cooled coolant circulates back into the engine to absorb more heat and repeat the cycle.
