Thermostats fail in many ways, (like starters) the STAT be very very slow to open or open to fast and too far.
in fact, there is netflix video on "how Stats are made" and why they fail and why they all fail so soon.
the wax pellet inside, is short lived. as are some seals inside, what cause the motion of the STAT, all fail soon, not one lasts life of engine.
running with no thermostat is one of the worst things to do with EFI.
the EFI is now locked in warmup mode forever. waste of fuel and a very hot CAT.
the engine actually, cools better with a 195F stat, (seems odd huh?) but do to "Carnot's" laws .seen here.

the radiator has greater cooling effect, with water more hot, than the air side. all auto stores sell this stat,

and better MPG.
when replacing the STAT with wrong gasket,(ring) clauses a fridge engine.

got a 4mm Stat rim or 1 MM? (in the intake stat pit)
