Why does the engine temp go down after warming up?
When you start the engine, the thermostat is closed. After the coolant warms up the thermostat begins to open up allowing coolant to flow thru the raditor. When first started the temp will go a little past what the thermostat is set to open at. After the water begins to flow thru the radiator, the temp will fall to whatever the thermostat is set at. The thermostat holds the coolant in the engine until it warms up. As soon as the engine is warm, the thermostat opens allowing cold coolant outside the engine to mix with warm coolant. The temp drops, the thermostat closes again, until all the coolant is warm.
How can you tell when the thermostat has opened?
The upper radiator hose gets hot do to the fact the coolant has started to circulate.

Try replacing the coolant temp sensor, the one next to the thermostat housing.
How do you locate and change the thermostat in a 2000 Buick Century?
I asked my mechanic about that and he said it was under the intake manifold. about 400 dollars to repair. On the other hand I was low on coolant, so I added coolant and it started warming up faster and the temperature gauge wasn't so high either. So I didn't have to repace thermostat. good luck I asked my mechanic about that and he said it was under the intake manifold. about 400 dollars to repair.

What make your car run hot?
All sorts of thing can.. Low oil, low coolant, blocked radiator, stuck thermostat, running too lean on fuel... If it just suddenly started to do it and the levels are ok then check the thermostat.
Why is a 2000 Dodge Intrepid running hot I was driving today and the car started running hotI stopped to check the coolant level and coolant started to bubble out of the resevoirWhy would it do that?
Coolant level low? Check when cold Cooling fan not working? Thermostat not opening? Dirty or clogged radiator? Bad radiator Cap? Water pump bad?
Why is your Peugeot 406 W reg rapier started to blow just cold air from the heater?
Low coolant level? Thermostat not opening? Water pump not circulating coolant? Heater core airbound? Heater core plugged or restricted?
Why would a Lincoln Mark Viii overheat when started then cool down after running?
Does the computer also say low coolant. On start-up mine did that so I'm pretty sure it does that to make sure you check that the coolant level is ok. If coolant level is good then the thermostat is probably stuck open.
Why would a 92 Ford Taurus that was started occasionally but not driven for a few months now overheat slightly when you drive it it and the heater does not produce any heat?
the thermostat is probably not functioning properly...replace thermostat and see if the situation is resolved. Easy cheap fix. Check your coolant level before replacing the t-stat. You may just be low on coolant.
Changing coolant on 1987 Pontiac fiero gt?
Place a pan under the drain valve on the radiator (back side of the radiator, right side) Reach up and open the valve letting the coolant out. (It is meant to be turned by hand, but you might need a pliers) After the coolant has started draining open the radiator cap to allow air into the radiator. Go back to the engine and open the thermostat cap (Large cap that looks like a radiator cap, has a two step turn - push and turn again removal). Remove the thermostat located under the cap by grabbing it, turning it to break the seal and pulling it up. To fill - close the drain valve on the radiator. Leave the radiator cap off and start filling by pouring the coolant into the (still open) thermostat cap. Note - the thermostat needs to be still removed. Have an assistant watch at the radiator and when it gets full he needs to quickly put the radiator cap back on. Then continue to fill at the thermostat cap till the engine is full. Now start the car and let the coolant circulate, refilling at the thermostat cap when the coolant has dropped. After the car has warmed up, and all of the coolant bubbles have come out, fill the coolant to the top of the thermostat cap housing, replace the thermostat and cap and fill the reserve tank to the warm mark.
Your caddilac jus started to run hot?
Low coolant? Radiator plugged or restricted? Thermostat not opening? Water pump not circulating coolant? Defective radiator cap? Radiator hoses collapsing under pressure? Cooling fan not working? Cooling system air bound?
Fitting thermostat on 1997 Subaru legacy?
If your 1997 Subaru Legacy is the same as My RS-B Twin Turbo?, the Radiator and Overflow bottle have to come out and the Thermostat is at the front of the Engine, down the bottom-just to the right of centre, (Thermostat is inside the bottom radiator hose), - My Thermostat just twisted/pulled out, let all old coolant flush out-put New Thermostat in its place, Radiator and Overflow bottle were put back in and radiator topped up with fresh coolant and water, Overflow was filled to second line as it should be, car was started with heater on full for 5 minutes to disperse any air in water - (note) after adding fresh coolant, add water in Radiator till it can't take anymore-to show its filled properly.
