Assuming your engine is overheating, and any number of things could be causing that. Removing the thermostat will only mask those. Could be a blown head gasket, cracked cylinder head, thermostat stuck in the shut position, clogged radiator, bad cooling fan.
Probably should have the system pressure tested.
