If your thermostat is from Nappa and says Motorad on it. Then replace it immediately. They are junk and stick closed.

motorad from rockauto is doing me good so far
MOTORAD 7416203 with 203 temp is good.
The SNN-2000-195 model is good and I have zero complaints about it. I've used them for awhile now.
All I could get on short notice was a motorad...been in there over a year now and haven't had an issue. It's an OE 195 temp and seems to open around 205-210.
I noticed mine is a "motorad" and it's the cheapest shittiest one and it's been giving me problems.
I found an exact copy of the factory thermostat with the baby one next to the primary the Amazon description says it’s good up to a 2000. It’s a Motorad. My temp never moves from the set point.
I had the same issues, less than 4 moths, this brand doesn't work.
I did notice before I recently got safety/emission test for plate renewal, i wanted to confirm the I/M readiness had ran, that at idle, the full trims were extremely rich. I'm leaning towards the lower tstat having something to do with that. I have a 195 motorad(blah) that i had just installed before the plenum work. ECT didn't break 178 degrees on a highway cruise at 95+ degrees. That seems to be right at the threshold for the current dtc.
Big fan of the Motorad SNN-2000-195. Works great.
