over heating / ac getting hot

Actually..

The engine runs best at operating temp. If there is no Thermostat, the flow is never restricted. This isn't as big of a problem during summer driving but when in colder weather, the coolant can not heat up as well, causing poor running conditions. On top of that the heat needs warm coolant to function. Without the vehicle being up to operating temp the heat wouldn't work as well.

Water in the radiator cools down while the thermostat is closed. When water reaches the set temp it opens and allows the cold water to enter the block and puts the hot water in the radiator to cool off. ect... I am pretty sure my issue is electrical. I am going to take it in tmw.

edit: it is not best to let an engine run cooler than suppossed to because of termal sensor and set operating temp requirments. If you have a modified engine then you can do as you please pre specs. I know peeps who modified theirs.

if there is no thermostat a vehicle will overheat due to high flow:fyi:

the mixture needs time in the rad in order to transfer heat. if there is no thermostat then the fluid has no time to transfer heat before going back into the block thus getting hotter. I know this very well as I have been doing a lot of R&D on restrictor plates to replace the thermostat in my car.

with a broken thermostat, if it is broken in the open position, then the flow will be max for the opening size and be fine running below 200 in the summer time. In the winter the block will never reach operating temperature and you will have issues with fouling plugs as they will never reach cleaning temp.

This is the aspect I was coming from. Thank you for including the rest.
