kommentkat Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Messing With Factory Settings is Fine for Old Cars....but Even then, the Factory could have Saved Tons of Money if You Didnt Need Thermostats..! Hiding a Problem Doesnt Fix It. New Subarus and Northstar Caddys have Gasket Issues... Messing with Factory Settings Confuses the Computer and Car will Think it is Cold...and Richen the Mixtures (Like Leaving a Choke On )...it will run crappy and load up converter...and decrease gas milage...and put out false readings if you need to Smog the car.... I experimented with this stuff....it doesnt Solve problems....but.....Good Luck....Your Results May Vary....! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 back in the very early days, they did not have thermostats, lol thermostats came about as a way to warm the engine block a bit faster, which could then produce heat for the passenger compartment a bit faster. was not completely necessary at this point, but it was nice to have. Modern cars - no way i would run without a t-stat because so much else depends on the system being at a specific temp range - as mentioned above. using the correct t-stat for your vehicle is also important. using the wrong one can also produce issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
