this is strange

[3.4orNothing]

why does my car feel more powerful in the mornings or when its cooled down??

the thing is whenever my car get more warmed up it seems to loose some horsepower

but it does not missfire or somthing else
stays the same with less power

if you like the more power feel take your tstat out and you will run cold meaning you will keep the power.

colder air=more HP.

every car will do this.

Here's the Cliff Notes:

Colder air is more dense.
Denser air = more air molecules in a given volume.
More air in the cylinders = more combustion.
More combustion = more power.

Hope this helps.

Well that pretty much sets this thread up for a lock. Anyway, I'm glad A 2 Z-28 already answered your question.

no if theres no tstat it will over heat

The coolant will not have the time to cool down when in the radiator and will go beck to the engine, In now it is hard to believe me or not if you take it out the engine will take longer to warm-up but when it will it will over heat,


Ok think abut this the coolant sits in the engine until in reaches the thermostat open temperature (160-190) after that it will go to the radiator and cool down, when the hot coolant lives your engine the cold from the radiator goes in it, k and the thermostat doesn’t let it go until the coolant riches the temp of the thermostat at this time it give the other coolant to cool down if the thermo is open all the time the coolant is gating hotter and hotter until you blow
