thermostats are there to allow for faster warmup, but ALSO to slow the water so it has time to cool.
check that your thermostat is not broken, ie it is not staying open when cold, or is not opening opening when hot.
not putting one in cos "someone else never had one" is a stupid idea 
having the cap on should not make that much difference.
have you checked that the radiator is actually getting hot?
thermostst should be same for all seasons.. the engine doesn't know what season it is it just knows what temp it wants to run best at  . Toyota do not recommend swapping thermostats for Hokkaido, and thats 40deg in summer, -20 or so in winter..
if the thermostst is ok, maybe the impeller has dropped of the water pump?
start car, run till warm, take off radiator cap (see if it gets pressurised) and se if you can see water flowing across.. rev engine and see if move faster.
do the simple things... or take it to a bodgy mchanic
oh, also check your compression
