Many of the engines sensors do not operate until the engine has reached running temperature (195 degrees F). Without the thermostat the engine won't reach that mark. It may also trigger the check engine light to illuminate.

Can a faulty thermostat on a 97 eclipse cause the car to run poorly after heating up spit and sputter?

IF YOUR CAR IS HEATING UP(OVERHEATING) AND YOU STILL DRIVING IT, A FAULTY THERMOSTAT IS THE LEAST OF YOUR PROBLEM.


Is removing thermostat helps overheat issues?

No, removing the thermostat will not help with overheating issues. The thermostat is a critical component that regulates the engine's temperature by controlling the flow of coolant. Removing it will disrupt this balance and can lead to even more severe overheating problems. It is important to address the root cause of the overheating issue rather than attempting to bypass it.


Does the removal of the thermostat from a Mercedes Benz 190 e cause temperature to rise?

No removing the thermostat would cause your engine not to warm up as quickly as it should. Your water pump may not be doing its job correctly.


Cause of no water flow in radiator?

The thermostat could be stuck, or the water pump may be bad. Removing the thermostat you can reconnect the system to see if water flows, if not then check your water pump.


How would you know if a water pump was causing a Kubota tractor to overheat with no thermostat?

If you are unsure if it is heating because of a water pump or a thermstat, you can find out by removing the thermostat. If it still heats without a thermostat, then you know it is the water pump. Without a thermostat, the water flow has nothing to cause it to heat unless the water pump fails to circulate the water. No circulation of the water would cause the over heating.


Would a bad thermostat cause a decrease in gas mileage?

A bad thermostat can cause a decrease in gas mileage. If the thermostat is stuck open, the engine will tend to run cold. Not only will this result in a perpetually low temperature gauge reading and poorly performing heater. It will also cause the ECU to richen the mixture, since the engine will appear to be warming up to the ECU. This will result in poor gas mileage. Replacing the thermostat will allow the engine to fully warm up, which will restore gas mileage as well as heater performance.

Your 2002 Bonneville runs steady at 200 degrees is that normal?

this is normal for this engine, in fact anything short will trip a check engine light. the cause will be a low coolant condition, a thermostat stuck in the open position or a bad coolant sensor. this is normal for this engine, in fact anything short will trip a check engine light. the cause will be a low coolant condition, a thermostat stuck in the open position or a bad coolant sensor.
