T-stat is stuck open. 192 F is normal. I bet your A/C doesn't work.

Pop "p0128" into the search box or google to get the why. It is well covered and frankly gets boring to me.

FWIW, when I was about two blocks from the auto parts store, the temp gauge suddenly started working again and the temp climbed steadily from ~170° to the 195° I'm used to. Bought the new t-stat anyway and will replace tomorrow (after the car has cooled down). Sure acts like a stuck t-stat that loosened up again, so this should fix it. Thanks again! |
Thats not what I meant, this tiny keyboard is my problem.

Let us know how the replacement goes, and if it resolves your problems. |
Problem solved. Not quite at easy as an old small-block Chevy, but not terrible by any means. Once I got the old one out, it was obvious that it needed to be replaced (old one on the left, replacement on the right):

Just curious, what brand? The one that came in my 2011 does not have a large inner rubber seal, you can barely see it, it's not big enough to make a problem.

Mine went out last month @ 56,000 miles, It cost me $0.00 becuse of the 100,000 mile powertrain coverage that we all have. I sure hope everybody posting were out of warranty at the time of change. Love those warranties!!

The thermostat is covered by the 100,00 mile warrantee? Even if the vehicle (I purchased new in 2006) is 9 years old? It has 50,000 miles on it.

Hello guys & gals,
I used this thread back in July 2014 to replace the thermostat. About 8000 miles later getting the p0128 code. I picked the thermostat at Adv Auto Parts and it wasn't the ACDelco brand. I did check my coolant levels and seem fine. Anyone else have this issue? -Also can I damage the car if I keep on driving it like this? Thanks in advance. |
