This may or may not be a dumb question , but what are the negatives to not having a thermostat installed ? I have a 92 Ka24de 240 5-Spd. and just tryin to figure out it if has any adverse effects cause I pulled mine out . I had 2 thermostasts go to sticking within 2 weeks and puled mine of and haven't put one back on , so if anyone knows of any problems it would cause please let me know .

Thanks in advance .

It will run like ****... thats what my car does.. The ******* that i bought the car from decided to remove it and now i get ****ty gas mileage, my car runs too cold, and really rich which is really killing me with the prices of ****ing gas!!!!! I would advise getting Nissan Thermostat.. dont remove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

someone needs to say earmuffs before typing all the swears you just typed... calm down, its just a thermostat.

Well I'm wondering because I've had mine out for a couple months now and it did start running worse when I did it . I heard somewhere it could cause it ro run rich and have an eratic idle . I was curious if these things are true before I go and put one in ?

yeah. just go buy a nissan thermostat. the kragen and autozone ones flow way LESS fluid than nissan ones.

my freind in his integrs took his out and after about a year really messed dome stuff up. he put another one back in it and it didnt change anything back it just stayed the way it was it messed up some sensor. i dont know, i hate working on honda's.

Ok , I put in the thermostat and it ran even worse , so I went and bought some sea foam and ran that through the vaccuum lines to see if that made any difference . Slightly better , btu not by much . Soo I thought to myself it could be the timing . I decided to adjust the distributor timing . It took nearly forever to get it right , but now it runs super smooth . Anyone no what cause the little backfire like things from the exhaust ?

u are running rich ( air fuel ratio needs adjusting ) the unburned gas is ignigting
