Ive Run without one when i was having overheating issues, its really a bandaid fix and your car will still overheat, just take longer to do so. It makes your car heat up faster by staying closed and letting the coolant that is in the engine continue to cycle through the engine, then when it reaches the temp that it opens it releases the cooled coolant from the radiator to regulate temperature.
