While walking around in my engine compartment, I noticed the t-stat is not connected. The flapper is spring loaded and in the HOT position ( right? ).
Will I have any problems other than slower warm-ups? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

People will certainly have different opinions on this.
As I understand it, you will have shorter engine life and worse gas mileage since your engine may spend a lot of time running too cold. It is quite common to leave them disconnected, but it's also quite common for engines to run poorly and suffer early deaths. Just my 2° |
