Sounds backwards. If it opens too soon and just stays open, the coolant isn't getting cooled. Then if the engine gets too hot, it could be going into "limp home mode". I will tell people when in doubt to put the thermostat in a pan with a thermometer. If it is a 180 ( recommended) you see it open when the water temp increases to 180. Then coil the water. Also, make sure it isn't in upside down. Working at Autozone was fun because you never knew what issue would come in the door next.
