Sure bro no problem for me at all, Im always glad to read everyone's idea's just only share what I have experience, just want to clarify also, I'm not saying "it's better not to put the t-stat"
BTT:
I did'nt experience overheating at all since I left my AUV, the cooling system is always good that time I have been using it, it is properly maintain that's why never experience din na "Tumirik" or nasiraan sa daan. Ang naging cause na lang kaya nangyari na nag overheat for 3 times kase negligence ng driver (brother ko) to check the water and never look on the temp gauge, pinatuyuan ilang beses, Yes it is not the solution to overheating problems by removing the thermostat, sure na may problema yung cooling system.
but I think not the oil that I have been using pero usually I'm using it always with in the city beacause it is " for hire" all day imagine kahit tanghali tapat, that's why heavy duty use, na encounter ko lang naging sluggish siya down the hill kapag ang route ko antipolo at umuulan sa gabi, true kapag nga mababa ang temp the more you need to step on the throttle kapag walang t-stat, pag dun lang ako napunta, pero the rest ok naman kahit sa FC walang pagbabago dahil sa city lang madalas ang route ko.

January 10th, 2012 05:51 PM #56Very interesting topic indeed. i might also share my insight on this one, i own a honda city type z, as we all know city are well known for low fuel consumption, (of course it depends on the driving habit, traffic condition etc,) a year ago i had a problem with my radiator and my mechanic also remove the T-stat because as he said it is already faulty and told me that it is not really that important and so on. since then i have experienced a very significant increase in fuel consumption. fuel consumption was in about 12-13 km/l before but now it's barely 8-9 km/l. maybe this could be the cause of it. I don't know much about cars so it is a good thing that we have this forum. I've learned a lot from this topic and should bring my car to the shop and have my T-stat replaced soon. hope it would resolve my fuel consumption issue... dahil nag babadya na naman mag taas ng 2 pesos ang Gasolina.

Did you observe where your temp needle stays after the thermostat was removed? If it stays in the 1/4 and below level, then you'll be running rich since the ECU will operate in "enriched" mode.
You might also want to do a spark plug reading. My guess is, dark colored ang plug tips mo and not golden brown after the t-stat was removed.

January 25th, 2012 10:29 PM #58yes, the temp needle never went up over 1/4 level or if it does, it wont go up to the middle. the spark plugs was replaced about 5 months ago when i had a tune up, so i am not sure how it looks like today.
the thing is i did replaced my thermostat, it has been 2 weeks now and i have not seen any improvement on my gas mileage. i have had a half tank of gas, i've reset the meter and now i have 125km reading and the needle pointer is almost at the bottom. i have not been stocked to traffic so i guess it's not counted anymore.
what can you suggest guys, mkikita ba agad ang problem kapag pina diagnose? any idea kung how much ang padiagnose? TIA

January 25th, 2012 11:31 PM #59Upon removing the thermostat, we assume that the engine will never reach ideal operating temperature in ideal time on normal driving conditions.
On EFI systems, the ECU will run rich mixture on "closed loop" after cold starts.
Does that mean it will always run "closed loop", ie not all sensor signals considered, when you remove the thermostat?

correction:
the engine runs on open loop when you first start it and remains in open loop until the coolant temperature signal reaches about 170 degrees fahrenheit. if the CTS is bad (high resistance), the controls remain in open loop regardless you have been driving all day. it also remains in open loop if the engine is overcooled. when you press the throttle above 40% it goes to open loop from closed loop. the closed loop happens when the parameters such as warm engine, throttle not above 40% and there are no problems that would affect the controls to go on limp mode
