The engine temp sensor is on the front of the engine, next to the thermostat housing.The engine temp sensor is on the front of the engine, next to the thermostat housing.
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.
If the thermostat is stuck open, the radiator is able to cool the antifreeze faster than the engine can heat it.
to keep engine warm faster n regulate heat to radiator
The engine's thermostat controls the engine coolant temperature. The temperature control inside for the heater controls the cabin heat.
no heat can be caused by,blocked heater core insufficient coolant in engine blocked heater hoses from engine to heater core bad heater thermostat bad thermostat in engine bad heater control switch
Actually, the heat regulator for the engine is the thermostat. It closes off the coolant when the engine is cold and circulates more coolant when the engine is hot.
internal and external combustion engine
Yes, with out the thermostat, the coolant can circulate to fast to effectively absorb and transfer any heat. Updated answer, The thermostat is to keep the engine running at a factory set predetermined temperature, without the thermostat the engine should run cooler.
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.
an engine if running usually heats up, are you talking heat in car? need new thermostat
Probably a bad thermostat.
