but only temporarily.
A thermostat functions to regulate the flow of water between the engine and radiator.
On an average outside temperature day (75 degrees), "no thermostat" would result in (1) the engine not reaching operating temperature in the normal engine warm up cycle time and (2) much later in the cycle the engine would overheat caused by the water not remaining in the radiator long enough to cool down. More extreme outside temperatures would impact the previous results.
No thermostat or a defective thermostat that is stuck open. Also could be a deffective coolant temprature sensor. Or air bubble aroune the sensor on some cars.

What is the normal engine operating temperature for a 1987 mustang gt?
The normal engine operating temperature for a 1987 Mustang GT is around 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything above 220 degrees Fahrenheit might cause the engine to overheat.
What is the normal oil pressure for a car to run safe?
From 20 to 40 pounds PSI when the engine is at full operating temperature is normal. Any reading below 20 PSI may be cause for alarm.
Why do you have reverse but no forward gears on a 1998 gm 1500?
Transmission fluid level possible cause. This fluid level can only be checked with the engine running and at normal operating temperature.
Temperature is normal on the gague but fan blows out cold air from the engine Ford Fiesta zetec?
Replace {Thermostat}, It is in a closed posistion and is unable to open. Another cause as with the Futura (1.3 Fiesta year 2000) is a valve between the heater and engine, the Thermostat shows normal operating therefore replacement is not needed.
Why would engine sound like a diesel at operating temp?
An engine might sound like a diesel at operating temperature if the engine was a diesel or if there was an issue with the manifold. Sometimes gases escaping the manifold cover could cause the engine to sound different.
How do you gauge normal engine operating temperature?
Best way to tell your normal operating temperature is to visit an auto parts store and ask them what the OEM thermostat temperature is (or you can look it up yourself on Autozone.com). Most cars these days will have around a 190 degree thermostat. Your car will run slightly hotter than that temperature as it is needed to maintain the thermostat in an open position. With that thermostat you can expect to see the temperature of the water stay around 205-210. If the water temperature ever starts to get above 240 you should shut the engine down to avoid damage and have the cooling system checked. Temperatures above 260 WILL cause significant engine damage.
Why does pressure build on low side after the engine reaches normal operating temperature and cause the compressor to disengage on a 2000 Jeep Chero Electric condensor cooling fan does not kick on.?
Could be due to the fact that cooling fan is not working and excessive temperature is causing pressure rise.
What would cause oil to drip from rear of engine after 30 minutes of highway speed?
Rear main seal leaking? Valve cover gasket leaking? When engine attains normal operating temperature the motor oil will thin out and will possibly leak, where thicker (colder) oil will not.
Could somebody tell you the right temperature for 3.4 impala 2000 thE CAR DONT HAVE THERMOSTAT THE TEMPERATURE STAY IN MIDDLE AND THEN IS GOING DOWN.?
Any Auto Parts store can tell you the correct temperature thermostat for your Impala. Probably it requires a 195 degree thermostat. One thing for sure is no thermostat is not what you want. Running without a thermostat, will cause the engine to not reach full operating temperature. The engine will not perform to peak efficiency at below normal operating temperature. Normally that is around 220-230 Degrees. Your engine is computer controlled and the computer bases fuel/air mixture and timing on the engine temperature. Install the correct thermostat.
Would a bad thermostat cause check engine light to come on in a 2007 crown vic?
A defective thermostat can cause the engine to overheat. It can also cause the engine to not reach full operating temperature if the thermostat is stuck open. It is possible this could set the check engine light.
Low engine operating temperature will cause parts to wear very?
Low engine operating temperatures can lead to increased wear on engine parts because oil may not reach its optimal viscosity, resulting in inadequate lubrication. This can cause metal-to-metal contact, leading to accelerated wear and potential damage. Additionally, incomplete combustion may occur, leading to the accumulation of harmful deposits that can further compromise engine performance and longevity. Maintaining the proper operating temperature is essential for ensuring efficient engine function and longevity.
What could cause an engine not reach operating temperature?
A thermostat stuck in the open position could keep an engine from reaching operating temperature, the interior heater would also not blow hot air. This can happen when using hard water ( water with a lot of minerals in it ) mixed with antifreeze.
