A thermostat regulates engine coolant temperature by controlling the flow of coolant through the cooling circuit. When the engine is cold, the thermostat remains closed, allowing the engine to reach its operating temperature quickly. Once the correct temperature is reached, it opens to allow coolant to circulate and carry heat away from the engine. A thermostat that sticks open causes the engine to run too cold and inefficiently; one that sticks closed leads to overheating, which can cause serious engine damage and force an unplanned shutdown on the job.
