How does a thermostat that is mounted at the inlet to the engine and outlet side of the radiator work because when it opens it is then exposed to the colder water from the radiator?

The thermostat opens to allow the hooter fluid in the engine to escape to the radiator and be colled by the air passing thru the fins of the rad. It is then pumped via the water pump from the bottom of the rad back into the engine. I think you had your routing wrong.
WHEN YHE ENGINE HEATS UP TO 180 OR 190 DEGREES DEPENDING ON THERMOSTAT.THE THERMOSTAT OPENS AND STARTS TO CIRCULATE IN RETURN COOLINS ANTI FREEZE.....HOPES THIS HELPS
The inlet thermostat doesn't operate that much differently than the outlet thermostat does. Both allow the engine's coolant pump to pull in cooler coolant from the radiator when the thermostat first opens. The outlet thermostat will get less of the radiator's cooler coolant because it will have mixed to a greater degree with the hot coolant already in the engine. The inlet thermostat will be exposed to a relatively higher amount of radiator's cooler coolant and likely not open as much initially and not go through as many opening and closing cycles as all of the coolant in the system warms up.The bigger operational difference is that the inlet thermostat will have to have some means to sample the warmer coolant circulating in the engine via a dedicated bypass or other hose. The outlet thermostat will not need this because it is usually integral to the engine block coolant passages and readily gets warmed coolant routed to it.

Where is the radiator fan relay olcated on a 1999 Acura Tl?
If you are talking about the radiator/AC fans the relays are located on the drivers side mounted what looks like on the radiator. it's either an 8mm or 10mm bolt and it isn't very easy to get to. BTW, make sure that the car is cool, like I said they are mounted right near the radiator. There are 2 relays mounted back-to-back and the harnesses are a bit hard to unplug. Just don't snatch them by the wires or you'll create a bigger problem.
How do you replace a thermostat on a 1994 Mercury Tracer?
Follow the top radiator hose back to the engine. There is where the t-stat housing is. Remove the hose, remove the housing, remove the old t-stat, clean gasket surfaces install the t-stat into the housing with the spring side sticking out toward the engine, use spray adhesive to attach the gasket(DO NOT USE RTV), reinstall everything and be careful to evenly tighten the housing bolts until they are snug(DO NOT RAUNCH HARD ON THE BOLTS). Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 mix of coolant and water, and burp the system.
What is considered the left and right side of the engine?
On a RWD vehicle the engine is mounted front to rear. Sitting in the driver's seat, the left side of the engine is on the left side of the car. On a FWD vehicle the engine is mounted sideways. Standing looking at the side of the engine where the transmission is connected, to your left is the left side of the engine. Normally the transmission is mounted on the driver's side of the vehicle, so the left side of the engine would be the side closest to the radiator.On a RWD vehicle the engine is mounted front to rear.
