When cold it will stay closed, stopping coolant flow and helping the engine warm up faster. Once up to temperature, it will open and allow normal coolant flow and maintain proper engine temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many applications, multiple temperature ratings are available. These ratings denote when the thermostat opens, and in extreme climates different temperature ratings can be used to assist the vehicle in maintaining proper temperatures. In very hot desert climates for instance, a lower temperature rated thermostat may be preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two types of thermostat failures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermostat stuck open (most common): Coolant will flow through the engine constantly from cold, preventing the engine from reaching operating temperature. Usually this means a rich mixture resulting in poor fuel mileage and potential catalytic converter damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThermostat stuck closed: If the thermostat is stuck closed it will restrict flow into the engine resulting in an overheating condition, resulting in potential catastrophic engine damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Motorad\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotoRad is a world-class supplier of high quality products and thermostats to the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) and aftermarket auto industry.
