What can a broken thermostat in a vehicle do?
In very short: If the thermostat stays open, the warm-up time for the engine will be significantly longer, resulting in unwanted start-up wear. If the thermostat stays closed, the engine coolant can not circulate through the engine and cooling system, resulting in the engine overheating, as the coolant is used to keep the engine in a specific operating temperature.

89 camaro rs v8 305 temp gauge stays above temp range no matter if car is warm cold off or on is it a problem with the gauge or the thermostat?
The needle is getting stuck at the top of the gauge. Take face plate off and bend the edge of gauge down so not to get stuck up There again! If the gauge is not moving then I would suspect that. If your car starts and runs and the engine gets warm and the radiator gets warm and you can get heat out of your heater then yoru thermostat is okay. Make sure your temp sending unit, which should be out near the thermostat housing, is connected. If you find it, pull off the connection and make sure the connection is clean. If you start the car and only the motor gets hot, do not overheat the engine. If the engine gets above operating temp and the radiator stays cold, then it may be the thermostat or a broken water pump.
