Hi Keith.

This probably why your engine temp reads so low, because it is low.

Its not good for a motor to ever run without a thermostat, put a new one in, theyre not that expensive.

Yep that's where it goes. Any if you don't run one you'll have overheating problems and a worn out engine in a year.
