1991 90 10v problems

"Finally I got to change the thermostat. But when I exposed it I found 
it was well and truly closed.
I left the thermostat exposed and ran the engine for a while to heat it 
up and no coolant escaped past it.
So I still have an engine that wont heat up much and uses twice the fuel 
that it should. "


So did you put in the new $10 t-stat???????????

When I swapped out my bad t-stat it tested fine.

Your thermostat is junk, replace it!
