HEY I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH MY 95 KA24 DE, OVERHEATS TO +- 260 AND COMEBACK TO NORMAL WICH IS +- 140 ALSO I NOTICE THAT THE COOLANT RETURNS TO THE CANISTER AND OVERLOAD IT AND WASTE.

I WAS THINKING IN A PROSSIBLE LEAK, BUT I DON SEE ANY....SO I DECIDE REMOVE THE THERMOSTAT, BUT I NEED TO KNOW IF IS A OK TO LEAVE THE COOLANT RUNING STRAIGT.

OR WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO DROP AND MANTEINT THE TEMPERTURE.

while you can run without a thermostat i advise you to replace it asap.

there are several diagnoses/repair how to's in that section i suggest you read.
