Yes, that is one possible causes. Unless you are loosing coolant with no apparent leak and see white smoke from the exhaust. In that case you have a blown head gasket.

Why does my Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited car heater runs cold air?

I would have to assume that you need to replace your thermostat. If the temp. gauge isn't getting very hot (around 190 degrees) after the vehicle has been runing for an extended period of time the thermostat is probably stuck open.


How do you know when to change your thermostat on a 1995 camaro z28 LT1?

A thermostat can be stuck open or closed. If the engine runs to cool it is stuck open. If the engine is running hot it is stuck closed. If you don't have these problems you should'nt have to change it.

How can you tell if thermostat on 95 ford escort bad?

If the engine is taking a long time to warm up or the gauge registers low heat the thermostat probably is stuck open and needs to be replaced. If the engine runs hot check the temperature of the upper radiator hose. If it's not hot the thermostat is stuck closed and should be replaced. If the upper hose is hot it means the thermostat is open and working. Cooling problem could be restricted radiator.


Your 2003 jeep Cherokee runs hot in town but not on highway?

more airflow over the radiator keeps it cool on the highway, in town more sitting in traffic and lower speeds let it run hotter. If it is nearly over heating start with the easy things check the radiator fluid. if it is full then it is probably the thermostat sticking either open or closed. since it runs cooler on the highway I would think it is stuck open allowing the water to circulate through the radiator.
