Would it hurt anything if I took the thermostat out of my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix long enough to get it home from work which is about 1 hr 15 min all highway. I believe the thermostat has failed close
The service engine light came on. P0128
code came up I checked coolant level it was
good in radiate but very low in reservoir so I
filled it up to the hot mark since I had just
drove from.work and it was up to
temperature. Temps stayed fine all the way
to work this morning and as I was pulling in
it began to go up like the thermostat has
shut. When I started it up after letting it cool
I don't have a continuous flow through the
top radiator hose so I don't think it's stuck
open. I just need to get it home so.i can
change it this evening
