Why would a stuck thermostat make an engine overheat or run cold?
A thermostat stuck closed can hold coolant back from the radiator, and the engine may overheat. One stuck open can let coolant circulate too freely, so the engine may run cold.

Yes. The Beck/Arnley 143-0688 listing is one thermostat, and each engine it is listed for takes one.
