    So, in the desert the engine needs a lower internal temperature (using a 160 degrees thermostat) and in alaska a hotter one(195 degrees) in order to have a better combustion?. Engines were designed to work at a specific temperature, and that’s the thermostat role, to keep stable the temperature. If the engine needs an 195ยบ thermostat it will keep that temperature doesn’t matter if it’s in the desert or in alaska. Close if cold, open if hot.

    …. whatever

    i think my thermostat is failed open. i did the obd1 check with a paper clip because the ses light was on and the code was for low temp/coolant temp. ever since i bought my car, the heat never gets hot.

    question, since its winter and normally around 20 degrees here when i leave for work, is it dangerous to drive my car without getting the thermostat changed? also, could the open thermostat be the reason why i have to crank my car like five times just to start my car, in addtion wih spark plug

    Yes. Your thermostat is stuck open.

    My car is generally slow to warm up and the heater blower takes ages to start blowing warm air. Also the temperature gauge on the dash hardly ever rises. Are these symptoms of a defective thermostat or something else?

    LOL, in that case you can just remove your thermostat and never worry about buying that expensive one that has been engineered to stay open if it fails! removing the damn thing will cost you nothing! haha, I know alot of old timers with crappy old cars they don’t believe in thermostats that’s the first thing they rip out as they deem them useless stupid things! lol, but yes they are needed in very cold weather and helps keep the engine at normal operating temperature.

    Another symptom of a thermostat stuck closed is the lack of money you will happen to have around the time the motor overheats and blows the head gaskets.
