Depends on which engine. There were four cylinder gas engines, six cylinder gas engines, and an inline four diesel engine.
6 cylinder
When the temperature of the gas inside the cylinder decreases, the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules decreases, leading to fewer collisions with the walls of the cylinder. This decrease in collisions results in a decrease in pressure inside the cylinder according to the ideal gas law (PV = nRT).
When a gas is heated in a cylinder, its temperature and pressure increase. As the gas molecules gain energy, they move faster and collide more frequently with the walls of the cylinder, causing an increase in pressure. If the volume of the gas is kept constant, then according to Charles's Law, the gas will expand to accommodate the increased temperature.
It is an electrical device that tells back the engine temperature to both the temperature gauge and (where fitted) the engine management system.
Exhaust Gas Recirculation: in simple terms the valve helps by recirculating some exhaust back into the cylinder (when the engine needs it) to reduce the combustion temperature. Combustion at too high of a temp can make the gas in the cylinder burn to early; this reduces the power, creates a knocking noise in the engine, and worsens the emissions.
Operating temperature with a good thermostat will be between 180 and 200 degrees. The ideal running temperature on a 6 cylinder engine is about 196 degrees Fahrenheit.

When pressure is increased on a gas at constant temperature, the gas molecules are forced closer together, reducing the space between them. As a result, the volume occupied by the gas decreases because there is less space for the molecules to move around. This relationship is described by Boyle's Law, which states that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional when the temperature is held constant.
The molecules of gas in a cylinder of butane are in constant random motion. They collide with each other and with the walls of the cylinder, creating pressure. The temperature of the gas is related to the average kinetic energy of its molecules.
