No thermosthat

Hi, if I leave the thermosthat out will it cause any problems with the computer or bring on any other problems? My jeep has ran warm and sometimes hot since I bought it about 2 mos ago. It had a new thermosthat in it but this weekend it ran real hot and would not take any water so I knew it was stuck. I pulled it out and it only opens about 1/8" or so and sticks. I know the enginewill take a little longer to warm up but was wondering if I leave it out instead of replacing it if i will be ok as far as the ecm is concerned?

Many Thanks,
JR

HI JR YOU SHOULD REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT ACTUALLY IT HELPS THE COMPUTER SEND THE RIGHT SIGNALS TO THE SENSORS. the computer needs the heat to make engine running adjustments DALE EMAIL [email protected]
