What up people......i swapped out my EF radiator for an EG one......i changed all the hoses.....and i come to find out i have no thermostat.....a few of my buddies reccomended i run the car like that....cause i cant tell my temp. at this time......so no thermostat and fan on all the time would keep it cool...WILL THIS DO ANY DAMAGE TO MY MOTOR......its a stock DOHC ZC.....Oh and my coolant temp sensor doesnt work...

 

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

 

Fix your coolant temperature sensor, and put a thermostat in. Running a motor too cold may not cause the immediate damage as running it too hot would, but it damages it non the less.

 

Do you know where that sensor is located........i found out its not workin cause of the CEL code. I heard its pretty pricey.....but meh im down to buy!

 

you can run with no thermostat..it just wont warm up properly..

may not run as good cause i think a couple sensors check water temp.

i may be wrong though

Thanx for the info guys.......im also wondering where in the Engine is the sensor located?

 

which sensor? the one for the fan switch?
there are two nipples on a plug by the single nipple oil pressure sender plug...pretty easy to see from the bottom of the car, but youll have to feel around for it from up top

 

the coolant temp. sensor.

 

yeah that sensor is the one i just mentioned...the two nipples on the single plug by the oil pressure sender

 

Ive heard running without a thermostat not only kills gas mileage, but also, there is a small amount of water vapor in the block that will never be perged if you run without a thermostat.

 

and running cool all the time will make you waste an assload of gas. the computer will take forever to go into closed loop. you will constantly run rich. its not fun
