A wall thermostat is an electrical switch ( or a set of switches) so no a faulty t-stat will not trip your CO detector. DO NOT HORSE AROUND, if the CO detector is going off you need to assume the worse and call the fire dept, or a furnace contractor and get the furnace and hot water heater checked for a CO leak. CO can kill you , and is tasteless, oderless and invisible.
