THERMOSTATS

The primary function of a thermostat is to maintain the minimum operating temperature in your car's engine. When you start your engine when it is cold (or early in the morning), the antifreeze / coolant mixture is kept within the engine by the thermostat. When the coolant temperature reaches the specified opening point of the thermostat (each vehicle's thermostat has a particular operating temperature), it opens. Coolant will then flow through the radiator to keep the engine at a temperature close to the rated temperature of the thermostat.
Most of today's cars and trucks are designed to operate with a 195 F/91°C thermostat. If a lower temperature thermostat has been installed, it will affect several systems in your car. A vehicle with a computer controlled carburetor or fuel injection (Electronic Fuel Injection, EFI) will sense the lower temperature and compensate by making the engine run richer (dumping of more fuel than is required by the vehicle), causing excessive fuel consumption and possibly a high idle (rpm).
Also, if your thermostat is stuck partially or completely open, you will have the same symptoms as an incorrect thermostat. Unfortunately, a thermostat that is stuck only slightly open will cause double trouble. It will make the engine take much longer to warm up, but may not allow enough coolant to flow at high speed to keep the engine cool and might cause an "overheating condition".
Thermostats can last many years but they are not built to last forever. Just like other vehicle parts they have a lifespan and since it is a mechanical device,it is subject to wear and tear. Therefore when major cooling system work is done on a vehicle, the thermostat should also be considered for replacement.
