Is my thermostat going bad???

My car has been running warm lately... like approximitly 10-20 degrees warmer then norm. The car has plenty of coolant. What could it be?

Thanks for your help!

It could be going bad but you may just have some air in you system. Try bleeding it out. If you wanna check your thermo then just take it out. Boil some water and stick it in there. If it opens all the way and closes all the way then thats not your problem. If it doesn't then it is. I recommend getting a hypertech 160 stat if you get another one. If it gets really cold over there then you may wanna keep the 180 during the winter though.
