if its not working.
I set the thermostat for 70 degrees.
If the thermostat is broken in the closed position the engine would overheat rapidly. If it was broken in the open position the engine cooling system would not reach normal operating temperature and the heater would produce only warm air. Take the thermostat out and put it in a pan of water on the stove. When the water gets to around 200 deg F, the thermostat should open. If it doesn't it needs replaced. Observe carefully that you have not installed the thermostat upsidedown.
you will know your thermostat is broken on your 94 celica because the engine temp will never raise and the engine fan will run continuously. I have a 92 and my thermostat is at the bottom of the engine, hard to get to because it's close to the left quarterpannel. I'd get a chilton's or some other repair manual, it will help you out tremendously. -J
Broken thermostat. Common Chrysler problem. Replace the thermostat.
Your thermostat is broken
When it's broken or the mercury stays the same.
It's complicated to answer that question.
replace it
Remove the water supply hose from the top of your 2005 Chevy Cavalier thermostat housing. Remove the thermostat housing retaining bolts. Lift the old thermostat out and drop in the new thermostat.
it should be replaced when it stops doing its job controlling the temperature and replacing the battery does not solve the problem or it is showing a digital error code that tells you it is defective. You may also want to test if it actually is doing its job but the heating or cooling unit may be broken. If you have more than one zone and you know what you are doing, you can switch it with a known working thermostat and see if the problem stays with the zone or it moves with the thermostat. That should tell you if the thermostat is broken or the system related to that zone needs maintenance.
A stuck closed thermostat would make the coolant temperature symbol illuminate.
sounds like yours is broken.1 thermostat and 1 o-ring or gasket
