Most thrmostats have a = or + of degrees that it will turn on or off. For example, if it has a +- 2degrees, it means that if you set it for 75 dgrees, it could be off (or on)at 73 or 77 degrees. Most of them lose their calibration after awhile and needs replacing,

What does the thermostat on a car do?

The thermostat in a car regulates the coolant temperature inside the engine. When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed, allowing the heat from the combustion chamber to heat the fluid (coolant) in the coolant galleys in the engine block. Once the engine reaches an optimal temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to flow through the radiator. The thermostat then controls the flow of coolant to hold the engine at its optimum operating temperature, irrespective of engine load and operating condtions.


What happens when blood reaches tissue that doesnt have enough oxygen?

Once oxygenated blood reaches the capillaries, the velocity of the blood is very slow - which favours the exchange of oxygen. Oxygen therefore diffuses across the walls of the capillaries into the tissues that need it.

What does the thermostat do in a 1994 Honda Accord?

Its job is to block the flow of coolant to the radiator until the engine has warmed up. When the engine is cold, no coolant flows through the engine. 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.


Can you run a reducer rather than a thermostat in a '95 240sx?

if you are going to install anything other than a thermostat, then you are better off leaving nothing. the car will run find without a thermostat, in warm weather. it will still run without a thermostat in cold weather, but i do not recommend it because it will leave the valve open and the radiator fluid will be constantly flowing through the motor. what the thermostat does is block off the flow until the car reaches approx 170 degrees F. then once it reaches this temperature, the thermostat opens up allowing the fluid to flow, and thus cooling off the motor. so, without a thermostat it will just constantly flow, and will simply take longer to warm up. I've ran with without a therm. throughout winter without a problem, but you will have to let it run for 10-15 minutes until the temp. warms up. the thermostat is only a $12-$20 piece, so at that price, why not have one?


Why does your blower motor work sometimes on a 190E when outside temp is cold?

If your blower motor is on when you stop the vehicle: 1)your engine might be having a thermostat or engine cooling issue 2)your exterior thermostat is different than your "engine cooling fan". It may be cool outside(separate thermostat),yet your engine temp.(separate thermostat)fan will kick on once "engine temp. reaches a degree where it is necessary to be cooled. Be sure to check the following: coolant level/indicator light thermostat temp heater motor fan OEM Conti Tech Belt
