The engine is overheating after about thirty minutes of driving.
The oil and anti-freeze levels are fine.
The top radiator hose gets hot, as does the radiator itself.
The heater works fine, blows hot air.
From advice I received, I am gambling on changing the thermostat, but would like to be sure I'm not wasting time and money.
Also, does anyone know of any links which have videos or diagrams of how to change a 94 Honda Accord thermostat?
Thanks!How can I tell if I need a thermostat or a new water pump for my 94 Honda Accord?start with a thermostat and see.
all you have to do is start at the top hose on your radiator and follow it to the top of your engine. under that spot of the hose is the thermostat. loosen that and take out the thermostat.
Make sure you Have a thermostat and gasket Prior to taking it apart, unless u have another way to an auto store.

1997 Hinda Accord thermostat problem?
My car wasn't blowing air hot enough, so i thought maybe it needed a new thrmostat. Yesterdat I changed thermostat on my 1197 Honda Accord 2.2 VTEC 4cyl sedan and now when i start it, the RPM keeps changing from 1000 to 3000 continously untill the car heats up. I havn't noticed any changed in overall temperature. Please let me know what might be causing the RPM to continously jump from 1000 to 3000 and how can I fix it. Thanks.1997 Hinda Accord thermostat problem?You've created an air bubble in the cooling system. After the car is cool enough to open the radiator cap do so. With the engine off crack the bleeder screw that's on the thermostat housing and pour coolant into the radiator until you see it stop spitting air out and there's a constant flow of coolant coming out the bleeder screw then tighten up the bleeder screw put the radiator cap back on and your done. Good luck and hope this helps.1997 Hinda Accord thermostat problem?is there a ground you left off that is held on by the thermost bolts1997 Hinda Accord thermostat problem?Check all the wires in the area you were working in. Make sure you didn't accidentally disconnect a wire or rip one off its connector.1997 Hinda Accord thermostat problem?When you changed the thermostat you introduced an air bubble into the cooling system. That keeps coolant from getting to the thermo-lift (cold idle) valve at normal idle speeds, which causes the valve to open and raise the idle. Then the higher idle gets hot coolant to the valve, which closes and lowers the idle. The cycle starts over again.
To fix it, open the bleed nipple on the top of the thermostat housing about half a turn with a 12 mm socket on an extension. Close it when a steady stream of coolant comes out. Life is good.reptiles offer razor cut hair

Thermostat furnace change?
I would like to change my thermostat from the wired in type that I have now to a wireless type. Is it hard to install? How do I do it? My furnace is oil/hot air.Thermostat furnace change?First make sure you have a thermostat that will work with your kind of heat. (gas, electric, heat pump) Then turn of the power to your unit so you do not blow the transformer. You will need a small straight blade screwdriver and then just follow the directions.

How to change a thermostat on a 98 honda passport?
digram of a thermostat on honda 98 passportHow to change a thermostat on a 98 honda passport?Some quotes from http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulleti
%26quot;...thermostat is right in front, under the coil packs and connected to the lower radiator hose by a %26quot;chevy style%26quot; water neck.
I know because I replaced it about 2 weeks ago during a cooling system service. The part was about $23.00 at the dealer. I get a discount there, so my cost was a few dollars less.
The coolant gauge was indicating halfway or better on the scale, now it goes up to about a third and stays there. The radiator hoses aren't nearly as hard with pressure as they used to be and the engine is much happier with adequate cooling.
When I was flushing the system, I couldn't run the engine with the radiator cap removed, the water would gush out like an erupting volcano. This was before I replaced the thermostat.
Another thing- the radiator's drain plug is located in a terrible position and is virtually useless. I ended up pulling the lower radiator hose to drain the water / flushing solution, this worked much better.%26quot;

How to change a thermostat in a1990 f-250 diesel?
You will need to follow the top radiator hose out of the radiator and to the block. Unhook the hose from where it attaches to the block and there will be two nuts holding the fitting to the block that the water hose fits on. Underneath this fitting is the thermostat. Just undo the bolts and replace the thermostat. Pay attention to the way that the thermostat is laid into the block and be sure that you get it back in the same way. Also be sure that the truck has cooled as there will be some antifreeze spillage and that stuff create nasty burns. You should be able to do it be yourself without any problems.install spare clear card microsoft word
How much to fix a heater core?
I have a Ford Tarus 99 how much would it be to fix a heater core??? Plus if we have changed thermostat, flushed ratiator and heater still don't work it the heater core definatly the problem????How much to fix a heater core?Ok a few questions for you. Does the blower blow air? And did all the air get out of the system? If it didn't it could be causing a air pocket that won't let the fluid flow. but if all of that is good then it really shouldn't cost that much depending on where you liveHow much to fix a heater core?When you had done all of the items. When you where running the car did you turn on the heater? It will take some time for the new fluids to make its way back into the core. Start car and turn on the heater. Open radiator cap first to get a good flow. Warm up car. Check after about 10 min. to see if you have good flow in radiator. When there is a good flow. Then check to see if you have heat. Replace radiator cap. Then recheck heater. If not working still, Then check for a collapsed heater feed line hose.How much to fix a heater core?The labor time needed to make a heater core repair is 5 hours per ALLDATA. The factory heater core is $74.00, so this is not a really quick or cheap repair. I'm guessing from what you have done so far on the vehicle that you are having overheating problems. The only thing that really happens to heater cores is they begin leaking when they get older. If you are having overheating problems....the first thing to check (since you have replaced the thermostat) would be to make sure the electric fan is kicking on like it is supposed to....these are controlled with by a module and I believe they operate at 2 different speeds. I hope this helps.
2005 Dodge Neon keeps overheating even after changing thermostat?
One day my car started overheating and the heat stopped working. Did a check online and figured it was my thermostat. Changed thermostat but its still doing the exact same thing.
Did a thermostat check in boiling water and it works
Water pump does not appear to be leaking or making any unusual noises
Car runs fine, other than overheating and no heat
Drained radiator for the first time in 4 years today. Color was orangish red (not sure what the original antifreeze color was). Very small amount came out, just drops in fact. I've never noticed any external coolant leaks.
Refilled it with water, ran for a few minutes, saw no leaks, drained again and it all came out. Top and bottom radiator hoses are both hot when engine is hot.
After refilling radiator with water, did a bleeding technique by running car on moderate incline with radiator cap off, saw lots of air bubbles for several minutes (looking into thermostat housing where radiator cap leads to). Not sure how long I should have let it run but I did it for about 4 or 5 minutes, then got impatient waiting for the bubbles to cease (seemed like it should have been done bubbling but Ive never done this before)
Water comes out of exhaust pipes but only occassionally, chalking it up to condensation. Did notice a VERY VERY TINY amount of white smoke today, but it went away and I chalked it up to it being about 40 or so degrees out today. Hopefully just steam.
Oil looks fine, no milky white or bubbly look to it at all.
Coolant resovoir does not smell like exhaust, nor does it bubble to my knowledge.
I noticed when I popped radiator cap off I had some reddish orange grime built up on it and a little on the inside of the thermostat housing.
I've done all of these checks and spent the last week trying to figure it out on my own. I am now resorting to help from others ;-) It's still doing the exact same thing. It doesn't really get too hot if I'm just idling, its when I start driving that it shoots up. It takes about 5-8 minutes for it to get close enough to the red to make me shut it off. The temp has been between 20 and 40 degrees here since this has happened.

Sorry, but this seems like spam, but I appreciate your input.

Good luck.2005 Dodge Neon keeps overheating even after changing thermostat?If you had a bad head gasket, you would definetly get the milky color in you oil.
You have to finish bleeding out the air in the cooling system.
You said that you %26quot;ran out of patience, waiting for the bubbles- I never done this before%26quot;. THAT was your mistake.
In order to bleed out all of the air....
Fill up the radiator with antifreeze, if not full already.
Leave off the cap and start the engine.
Wait for the coolant to rise up and out of the radiator (with engine running)
When the thermostat opens up - the coolant level in the radiator will drop suddenly. (this takes 10-15 min, depending on how cold it is outside and whether the engine is a little warm or completely cold)
**At this point (level drops suddenly) the remaining air that's trapped will release into the radiator and you can see the coolant circulate inside the radiator-when you refill**
That's when you refill the radiator with more antifreeze. leave some for the reserve tank, because of the air trapped in the heater core.
replace the radiator cap and turn off the motor. Done.......
I've talked to others that use the %26quot;bubble method%26quot; for bleeding out air, but I prefer the method that I just gave you, because it always works.
Sure it's a little messy, it wastes a little antifreeze and it's not for wimps.
But it ALWAYS WORKS.2005 Dodge Neon keeps overheating even after changing thermostat?You really did a good check, however im sorry to say that your problem is either a blown head gasket or a cracked head, the combustion gases in the water jacket are creating a vapor lock type of condition stopping the flow of coolant (that's why the heat quite working) those neon's are known for head gasket problems. it's a pretty major task to replace the head and or gasket, I've done a bunch of them and there always a pain in the azz, but yea, that's what the problem is.

How to change a thermostat of 1994 pontiac grand am
Well, if it's the 3.1 V6, and it's anything like the 95' Grand AM i had (yeah, i said HAD, LOL!), you got your work cut out for you. The thermostat housing just may be located in the area underneath the throttle body housing, so you'd need to remove all the rubber air intake junk (not hard to do). But after that, it's going to take a lot of patience and some nimble fingers to get the housing off to expose the actual thermostat. You will NOT get a socket in there - i remember i think i used the correct size small closed loop box wrench to get the 2 small bolts out, and it was like 1/4 turn at a time - this job took me about one full afternoon - but i never factored in the time i spent cussing , throwing stuff, and kicking things, and the couple brewskis i had to ingest to chill me out. Good luck
How to change a thermostat of 1994 pontiac grand am Follow the top rad hose from the rad and you'll find the thermostat housing , basically you must disconnect the hose clamp , then unbolt the thermostat housing and then the thermostat will be sitting inside of it.Pop the thermostat out , shove a soft clean cloth into the hole the thermostat came out of.
Scrape the surface of the housing where the hose is attached to and I recommend taking the hose right off of it so you can clean it better easiar.Scrape the other part of the housing and be sure all the old thermostat gasket is removed.
Make sure all the surfaces are clean and dry and use the factory recommended thermostat , install the thermostat right way up and apply a small beed of a high temperature gasket maker along the thermostat housing , then pop back the top housing into place , rebolt the housing , attache house and tighten clamp, add some anti freeze to over flow or rad, start up vehicle check the coolant level and watch for any leaks.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way the gasket maker is excellent to use bec it prevents most leaks and seals excellently.Plus get a service manual on your vehicle or go to the right parts outlet and you can get the free instructions and diagrams printed out to do this job too.

How difficult is to change a thermostat in 2002 VW PASSAT 1.8T automatic? Can I do it by myself?
It's not all that difficult if you've got some basic mechanical ability. If I remember right, it's at the front of the car, on the left (from the front of the car) side. You'll need some decent channel-lock pliers or a pair of hose clamp pliers to pull the radiator hose off, then a largeish flat blade screwdriver to remove the squeeze clamp from around the thermostat itself, then it's just elbow grease and persuasion to get the old one out.
The very most important part about this job, make sure you get the right kind of coolant to put back in the car! You'll need VW G12, G12+, or G12++ type coolant, and yes, there is a difference between the VW stuff and the junk you can buy at your local auto store. Totally different make up, the everyday stuff, especially mixed with VW stuff, can eat straight through seals and gaskets.How difficult is to change a thermostat in 2002 VW PASSAT 1.8T automatic?

Any one know how to change the thermostat on a Hotpoint ff72p fridge/freezer?
The thermostat is basically the knob that you use to set the required temperature. Take the knob off, take the cover off, and you will see a switch with 2 wires on it plus an earth connection. Remove the wires, remove the fixing nut and follow the copper tube to the end, removing it as you go. You should finish up with a switch in your hand that has a copper tube attached to it. Take it to your local spares place, get a replacement, and fitting is a reverse of removal. Should take no more than half an hour.
2005 Chevrolet Cavalier / Thermostat change
I have a 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier that needs a new thermostat. I can't believe where it is located. You need to remove the exhaust system in order to access the thermostat. Has anyone else dealt with this headache? The dealer wants a minimum of 4 hrs in their GM shop and a hefty $250 or better to replace this damn little $8 part. Should I attempt this on my own? Has anyone else done one of these? If so, how? Are there any short-cuts other than removing the exhaust system?2005 Chevrolet Cavalier / Thermostat changeYour thermostat is beneath the exhaust manifold which must be removed in order to access it. The job takes approx. 2.2 hours and it would be a good idea to drain the coolant before starting. However, on an 05 Cavalier you shouldn't be replacing The thermostat this soon. If its overheating, be sure that the cooling fans are kicking on whenever the temperature gets high. This would sound like a more reasonable issue.
Best of luck.

How to change the thermostat in a 1982 Corvette?
Assuming you have a carbureted 350(even if it is crossfire, same should apply). Remove the upper radiator hose that goes into the intake manifold. There should be two bolts holding the thermostat housing down. make sure the engine is cool and remove the two bolts. under the housing there will be a round metal diaphram lookin thing and thats the thermostat. you can just take it out with your hand and put the new one in. then put in the new gasket and hook it all back up.

is it something easy or should i go to the shop for it?How do i change the thermostat on a 1991 jeep cherokee inline 6 , 4.0 litre?Drain a little antifreeze or it will leak from around the thermostat when you remove it. There should be a drain at the bottom of the radiator.
IF I remember correctly the thermostat is under the large hose that comes out of the top of the radiator and goes to the engine. Follow the hose from the radiator to the engine and THAT is where the thermostat should be.
Loosen the clamp that holds the hose onto the housing and slip the hose off.
There are two bolts in the housing that must be removed and the thermostat is supposed to be in the housing.
Pay attention to which way the spring is sitting. Toward the engine or away?
Clean the surface and use either silicone sealant or a gasket. Place the thermostat in the opening on the engine and position the housing over it and install the bolts, the slip the hose back on and tighten the clamp.How do i change the thermostat on a 1991 jeep cherokee inline 6 , 4.0 litre?yea asian technicianHow do i change the thermostat on a 1991 jeep cherokee inline 6 , 4.0 litre?It shouldn't be too hard for you.

At least with my 93 Wrangler with the 4.0, it drained out and hit part of the sterring stabilizer or something (A thin metal bar running the width of the suspension in the front) and got EVERYWHERE, and this stuff is really, really really toxic to all mammals, and dogs and cats think its very tasty stuff! It only takes a few teaspoons to kill a cat.
The antifreeze (ethylene glycol) crystallizes in the liver... bad news.
You can get pet safe anti-freeze, Prestone makes it, its made of propylene glycol, same stuff thats found in a lot of processed foods and shampoos and stuff. Not %26quot;good%26quot; for you, but not poisonous, and safer for animals if you ever have a water pump blow, or a leak, or are just klutzy like me. It works just as well or Prestone wouldn't sell it I am sure.

No heat in my 97 ford f150... changed thermostat..?
i have a 97 ford f150 4.6L.. i had the heat stop working.. so i went to auto zone and they suggested that i change the thermostat.. i did soo. drove it around all day doing odds and ends.. the heat got alittle warmer but not like it should be.i was wondering if i was to flush the heater core if that would solve my problem and how well will that work... could there be anthoer problem.. help plz.. its like -12 here i would love to have heat when i have to go back to work on monday...No heat in my 97 ford f150... changed thermostat..?No need to spend money on a radiator without first testing some things.
Feel both heater hoses, they should be close to the same temperature. The larger 3/4%26quot; hose is the inlet and should feel slightly warmer than the smaller 5/8' outlet. On most full size pick up trucks, the positioning of the heater core places it higher then the radiator fill and can trap air in the heater core, this will usually give some heat for a moment then go cold. This doesn't sound like what you are explaining.
It sounds like there is some blockage in the heater core. Flushing the heater core actually is a good idea, but make sure to back flush it too.
When purging the coolant system, make sure the heater, not defrost, is on and the fan is on low. this will open the heater control valve and allow air to be forced out of the heater core.
The only other thing I can think of that could be a problem, is a bad or weak radiator cap.
Hope this helps. ChristopherNo heat in my 97 ford f150... changed thermostat..?probably have a blend door broken, or blend door motor frozen, if you're lucky its the heater control switchNo heat in my 97 ford f150... changed thermostat..?Question have you ever flushed out the cooling system and put in anti freeze yet?The problem you might have is that the radiator might be plugged up, you think of changing the radiator for a new one.Because if you haven't flushed it out in awhile like years it might be that the reason for a plugged up radiator is the radiator get stuff built up on the inside of it and can't pass the coolant very well through the inside fins of the radiator and secondly when you refilled the radiator did you leave the engine run while filling it up because you might have air trap inside the cooling system and this can cause it not to heat up either but leave the heater on high while filling it up with anti freeze this will push the coolant through the system and get the air out and hope to get the heat you need.These are good type of engine that don't get the coolant through them very well air get trap somewhere in the system and can't get out while refilling them with anti freeze or coolant.Try these methods and see what happens.Good luck! hgm20002000@yahoo.comhowtocurlshorthairwithcurlingiron What type of quilt do you like

Thermostat change in MX3?
My car doesn't ever seem to warm up or takes a very long time doing so. Someone has suggested that the thermostat is not working, but after doing some research I found that someone else changed theirs with no change. Could there be anything else wrong? It runs perfectly, but even though the heat gauge shoots up to half way shortly after running, it does not generate heat until it has run for quite some time, and even then very sparingly. Any idea how I can resolve this please?Thermostat change in MX3?Drain the coolant out of the radiator. Take the radiator off the car and fill it up with water and see if it comes out of the bottom of the radiator. If not the radiator is blocked which is causing your problem i have ahd this problem 4 or 5 times on mx3s and early mx5sThermostat change in MX3?it could be the heater matrixThermostat change in MX3?The radiator, in extreme cold, cools the coolant faster than the engine can heat it so your thermostat is closed more than open and coolant does not circulate properly. Therfore the heater can't put out warm air. You can partially cover your radiator to reduce the air flow and it will run hotter. Ever notice trucks with radiators partially blocked ?

How do you change a thermostat on a 1989 buick lesabre 3.8 liter v-6?
I have never seen a thermostat housing like this. There is only one bolt. I got it apart but it will not go back together. It cocks when I try to tighten the bolt.How do you change a thermostat on a 1989 buick lesabre 3.8 liter v-6?Grease up the %26quot; O %26quot; ring at the bottom of the thermostat Housing with a Petroleum Based Grease Like Vaseline.
Twist the Housing left to right whilst pushing downwards on it until the housing mates firmly with the engine WITHOUT any gap , Then put the bolt in %26amp; tighten it up.
If that doesn't work , Replace the %26quot; O %26quot; ring and try again as it has likely swelled larger than the engines seating point.

Anyone know how to change a thermostat out?
Mine's old, crappy, and died yesterday.Anyone know how to change a thermostat out?It's rather simple. Put the switch in the OFF position and take the cover off of the thermostat. There will be a screw on either side. Remove the screws and gently pull the thermostat away from the wall. Some wires will be following. They're low voltage so don't worry about getting shocked. There will probably be a red, yellow, green, and orange wire connected to the thermostat. The screw holding the wire will have an R for red next to it, a Y for yellow, etc. etc. Remove the wires and install the new thermostat. Red wire to R, yellow wire to Y, etc. etc. Reattach the new thermostat to the wall and turn it on.Anyone know how to change a thermostat out?For just a furnace they are fairly easy.

1997 Jetta Easiest way to get to and change the Thermostat? Also ECT Specs?
2.0L 5 Speed. with A/C. The thermostat is on the bottom side of the waterpump and is blocked by the Alternator and A/C unit. Is there a mechanic out there than can tell me the easiest way to get to the thermostat. I'm only a little mechanically inclined. :) I do have the Chiltons manual but it doesn't say how to get to the Thermostat. I have replaced Thermostats before in my toyoto... very easy! Also i need to test the Coolant Temp Sensor(ECT), what spec readings should I be getting? It is a four terminal connector.
Thanks, Tanya1997 Jetta Easiest way to get to and change the Thermostat? Also ECT Specs?Volkswagen has a problem with the water pump impeller falling off causing overheating, running hot, no circulation, cooling fan not kicking on. If this might be your problem you can see the water pump impeller after removing the thermostat. To get the thermostat you need a 1/4%26quot; drive 8mm or 10mm socket with a 1/4%26quot; drive wobble socket. This may require removing the alternator on some models. Hope this helps.

RTB that means read the book. Get a manual and read it. Also high quality tools (husky or craftsman) are a must. If you want to learn about cars find a shop that will let you, even sweep the floor and get a job in the industry. Always RTB if you don't know!!!How to change a thermostat on a 1999 alero?The symptom you describe sounds like your cooling fan is inoperative. You just said it yourself, OVERHEATING WHILE STANDING STILL= no air flow through radiator. During vehicle cruising at highway speeds, there is sufficient airflow circulating through the radiator, which would not require the cooling fan to operate. One way to check this is to turn on the AC, and see if the cooling fan comes on. If not, either the cooling fan motor itself, or wiring to the cooling fan is the cause. Another way to verify cooling fan operation is to disconnect the ECT sensor with the vehicle running, the fan should come on at HIGH speed. If not, the ECT or its associated wiring could be the cause. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I'm trying to change the thermostat in my car?
I have a 95 Monte Carlo Z34. Anybody know a site I can go to for instuctions? Or better yet anybody know how to do it?I'm trying to change the thermostat in my car?OK, its not a bad job at all. To locate the thermostat follow the top radiator hose to the engine. On most cars the thermostat will be located under where the hose connects to the engine. So first remove the hose on the engine side. By the way do this when the engine is cool. Now remove the thermostat hosing. Usually two bolts. Now you should see the thermostat. Clean both mating surfaces, replace thermostat with new gasket, gasket sealer is recommended re-attach the cover and then attach the hose. Top off coolant. Your all done!
How do I know when to change the thermostat or know when it isn't working??
I flushed my radiator about three times until water was clear and then refilled with half and half, coolant/distilled water. I did this because it hadn't been done since I bought the truck ('95 Ford Ranger, 107K miles) from a neighbor two years before, plus the fact that the truck's coolant temp gauge needle was going past the middle mark but not all the way into %26quot;H.%26quot; Afterwards, it was a little better, but it still happened once in a while for long trips on the highway. Just changed the air filter w/ a K%26amp;N filter and strangely things seemed to improve, but the needle still moves a little past the middle. I don't know what else to do. So, I'm wondering about the thermostat...How do I know when to change the thermostat or know when it isn't working??If the engine takes too long to heat up then it probably is a bad thermostat. Watch the temp Gage and see if the temperature is in the proper range when the temperature gets up to the proper operating temp then the thermostat will open up letting the water circulate through the engine.You can tell when this happens as you may be able to hear the thermostat click and followed by a sudden and temporary drop in temperature as the cooler water from the radiator starts going through the engine and the warmer water from the engine goes to the radiator to be cooled by the fan also you may sense a sudden and temporary drop in engine speed when the fan kicks in .How do I know when to change the thermostat or know when it isn't working??thermostats go out often. they are easy enough to change and cheap. is your fan working? with it warming up your fan could have shorted out a while ago and it's just now affecting you temp gage. if it is okay. just change the thermostat. if that doesn't work pay for the diagnosticHow do I know when to change the thermostat or know when it isn't working??No idea how your gage is calibrated, but, most of the time a %26quot;stat%26quot; will stick open, not shut. That will cause too low of a temp and no heat from the heater. Too hot (in or real close to)the red and that is more apt to be from some other cause, fan, air flow etc.How do I know when to change the thermostat or know when it isn't working??When your vehicle starts to over heat,check thermostart and when it starts to operate below normal temperaturesHow do I know when to change the thermostat or know when it isn't working??First off what engine do you have? the thermostat should be changed every 2 years. You should have the cooling system pressure checked for leaks.use acne facial mask install spare clear card
How do I change the thermostat on an 01 Cavalier?
I dont where or how to change it nor how much it will cost me.How do I change the thermostat on an 01 Cavalier?I have an 01 Cavalier (piece of crap!) I went to Inner Auto Parts website to get price quotes for parts
I hope it helpsHow do I change the thermostat on an 01 Cavalier?It's only a matter of a couple of bolts holding the thermo cover onto the motor and removing the upper rad hose at the motor. There will be coolant spillage and a possibility of an air bubble after filling coolant up. These are pretty cheap to get someone else to do it, around a hundred or so.

How do I change the thermostat on a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L?
I have a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L that needs a new thermostat, and I don't know anyone that can help me, so I want to do it myself. Any help would be appreciated, I know nothing about trucks - thanks!How do I change the thermostat on a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L?If you follow the upper radiator hose to the engine, you will see where the hose connects to the thermostat housing, which is a flange held to the engine by two bolts. Soak these bolts with penetrating oil for a day or two before starting the job, just to be safe, they might be seized up. Have a large drain pan under the engine before you start, because engine coolant will spill. You will probably want to wear rubber gloves when doing this job, as coolant will be spilling and it's a little nasty.
First, loosen radiator cap, then remove it. Unclamp the radiator hose from the thermostat housing, and then twist and pull off the hose. You might need channelock pliers to break the hose loose from the housing flange, many times it is stuck on there good. Be prepared for coolant to spill when the hose comes off, this is where your drain pan comes to the rescue. Now tie the loose end of the radiator hose out of the way, and then remove the two bolts holding the housing to the engine ( 9/16 or 14mm wrench size ).
You will likely see ground wires attached to these bolts, if you break them, be sure to repair them afterwards, or you will have issues with the electrics of the vehicle.
Once the bolts are out, then pull the housing off the engine, you may need to use a large screwdriver for leverage to pop it off. A little more coolant spills at this time.
Remove thermostat from engine, and then clean all traces of old gasket material from the sealing surfaces of the thermostat housing and the engine. Use a razor scraper to do this, which can be bought very cheaply at an auto parts store. Use care when scraping, do not gouge or nick the metal. For stubborn gasket material, spray on some gasket remover spray and let it soak for a while. Use rags to clean and dry off the surfaces.
Once that is done, place the thermostat on the engine with the spring end DOWN. Make sure the thermostat is positioned properly in the recessed area of the engine opening. Then apply the new gasket (which came with the new thermostat) onto the sealing area of the engine. Coat both sides of the gasket with a very thin layer of silicone sealer made for this, available at the auto parts store, before you install it. Then position the thermostat housing on top, and install the two bolts, snug them both down first, then tighten them both a little at a time. This is to ensure that the cover gets tightened down evenly to avoid leaks. Don't forget to put the ground wires back on to those bolts. Then re-clamp the hose on to the cover. Top up the cooling system slowly until it is full, use a 50/50 coolant-water mix, don't just add plain water because it will weaken the strength of your coolant. Then put the rad cap back on, making sure the arrow is pointing to the overflow hose (important).
Start the engine, and let it run until it is at operating temperature. In the meantime, ensure that the thermostat cover is not leaking. When the upper radiator hose is hot, that means the engine is warmed up and that the thermostat is now open, allowing coolant to flow into the radiator.
Shut the engine off, and let it cool off for about 20 minutes or so, then carefully remove rad cap, and top off radiator as required. Top off overflow bottle if required.
Good luck with this! If you need any more info, feel free to ask!How do I change the thermostat on a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L?On a cold engine, loosen the radiator petcock at the bottom of the radiator. Allow about 2 quarts of fluid to drain into a pan or bucket, then close it. Follow the upper radiator hose to where it connects to the engine. This is the thermostat housing, it is held in place by two bolts, one is a stud with a ground wire on it attached with a nut. With the nut and two bolts removed, remove the housing. Inside you will see the thermostat, note how it is positioned so you don't put the new one in backwards. Remove all the old gasket material and assemble with a new gasket and tighten bolts securely, refill the radiator and run engine until the thermostat opens and top off the fluid reservoir to the proper level. Good LuckHow do I change the thermostat on a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L?You will have to consult with NASA, this is a real complicated problem! (not really). Ask at the parts store, read an open manual there. Do yourself a favor and don't use Dex-Cool coolant, Flush system out and use Mercedes Benz coolant. Read the GM litigation web-site about troubled GM owners!! The thermostat housing can usually be found at the opposite end of the upper radiator hose. The housing usually has 2 screws. Good Luck!!How do I change the thermostat on a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L?Easy easy. On top of the engine where the radiator hose comes out you need to remove the aluminum piece it is connected to. Two bolts 13 or 14mm I believe, are all that holds it on. You may have to pry a little to get it off. underneath of that there is the thermostat. You might be able to get away with re using the old gasket if you seal it up with some silicone.How do I change the thermostat on a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L?http://www.automedia.com/Keep_Your_Eye_o

Its easy enough, its in a housing where the hose from the radiator meets the engine block,
Disconnect the hose from this housing. (coolant will piss out, never worry.)
Undo the bolts (usually about 3) on the housing that hose came out of.
It should come off/apart exposing the old thermostat, tap or twist it out.
Flush the engine and radiator with water, and drain out as much as possible by removing as many hose connections as u can see.
Replace new thermostat into housing, (pointy end toward engine) and re-assemble housing, making sure all mating faces are clean and smooth for a good seal!
Re-connect all hoses.
Replace new coolant mixture into the coolant tank, It will only let u put in about half, as the thermostat it cold/closed and it cant circulate.
Run the engine, once the thermostat opens/warms, it will suddenly drag the coolant through the engine, top it up again and switch off when it gets too hot!!! repeat till the coolant is fully circulated and the level stabalises.
Mine took about 6 litres, depends on the car tho...How do I change the thermostat on my car?Varies from car to car, but most have the thermostat in the top radiator hose housing on the cylinder head.
To change it, you remove the housing, pull out the thermostat, clean out the inner housing, replace the thermostat using a new gasket or silicon sealer if you don't have a gasket, and replace the housing and top radiator hose.
Not a big job. If you're unsure get a copy of the auto manual from your local library just read and confirm.

How do you change a thermostat on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?
Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of, or do you just remove the hose, unbolt the old one, bolt on the new one and reattach the hose?How do you change a thermostat on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?thats pretty much all you do...just make sure you clean the area where the thermostat connects and make sure you use a new gasket or clean the old one goodHow do you change a thermostat on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?i owned cherokee for 10 years %26amp; due to engine switched thermostat TWICE EVERY YEAR - crazy, but true %26amp; ran better.. reason was so ran better in cold %26amp; then hot weather. Soooooo, from all that I can tell you problems I had. First the dude who mentioned about air is smoking crackk. Also I found that gaskets are more problem than they are worth. Just use very good high temp tube of gasket gunk - yaknow the stuff you squeeze from tube and spread like frosting. Now make sure you let that stuff dry way longer than recommended, like 12- 24 hours would be good ( better safe than sorry). To help keep the coolant away from area where you are trying to seal I advise take apart first then when going to install jack up front to make coolant flow back away from thermostat. Also could just soak up with towel until area is dry. Now here is biggest problem - so very very easy to over tighten %26amp; break metal (cast aluminum) housing or under tighten %26amp; leaks. Check for torque recommendation (library or parts store if you dont know) %26amp; slowly do each bolt as close to same time as possible (i.e. one turn on one bolt then one turn on other). Whatever the torque setting is do NOT go even one pound past that. better to be a couple below than over. You can usually rent or borrow torque wrenches at parts store. I also decided to just buy extra housing for a few bucks just in case %26amp; that way always had extra. Dont forget once ready to start er up, refill coolant, start engine, run heater for few seconds %26amp; cycle it on %26amp; off, then shut off engine %26amp; check level but make sure either engine cool or checking at coolant resevoir tank (the plastic clear one). Personally I just leave radiator cap off 1st time and not let engine get hot, but only do that if you know what you are doing as not exactly safest way. ummm, little tidbits, bolts are not easy to get to, coolant is poisonous to animals, i have yet to ever overtighten belt but easy to not get tight enough which means battery wont charge good %26amp; can ruin it, make sure metal surfaces are very clean before assembly, not bad idea to test new thermostat in hot water to make sure it moves at right temp (rare to be bad, but sucks if it is), and lastly good luckHow do you change a thermostat on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?You will also need to bleed out the air that will be trapped in the cooling system or the vehicle will not work correctly..
How do I change the thermostat on a 2001 Hyundai Elantra?
