Yes, you can technically run a 1996 Cadillac without a thermostat, but it is not recommended. The thermostat helps regulate the engine's operating temperature, and without it, the engine may run cooler than optimal, affecting performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions. Additionally, running without a thermostat can lead to increased wear on engine components and may cause issues with the vehicle's heating system. It's best to replace a faulty thermostat rather than removing it entirely.

Can you run your 2001 Malibu without a thermostat?

Yes, you can technically run a 2001 Malibu without a thermostat, but it is not advisable. The thermostat regulates engine temperature, and without it, the engine may run too cool, leading to inefficient fuel combustion and increased emissions. Additionally, running without a thermostat can cause the engine to take longer to reach optimal operating temperature, which may result in performance issues and potential engine damage over time.
