Common signs of failure:

• Engine runs too cold

• Engine overheats because the thermostat is stuck closed

• Poor idle and excessive carbon buildup

• Temperature alarms occur intermittently

• Thermostat is corroded or salt-encrusted

• Thermostat seal leaks

• Engine does not reach normal operating temperature

• Cylinder-head temperatures are uneven
