Either the water pump is unable to pump the warmed water into the heater core, or as you suspect, the thermostat may be sticking open. Do you have a temperature gauge or is it just a light that tells you when you're overheated? If it's a gauge, you should be able to tell when the engine is warm. If the temperature is much over 100 degrees F, you should be able to get heat out of the heater core. I'd be real suspicious of the water pump or possibly low coolant level.

Where is the thermostat located on Dodge 3.2L Intrepid 1998?

Check behind the power steering pump, you will find a plastic housing with the lower rad hose hooked to it as well as the steel tube running to the back of the engine feeding the heater. I think there is 3 10mm bolts holding this housing on.


Where is the thermostat located on a 1999 Plymouth Breeze?

For a 2.4 litre engine, where the pressure cap is that is the thermostat housing..if you try to remove the pressure cap (in cold temperature only) you will see the thermostat..A damaged thermostat can be diagnosed when an engine running is at above normal temperature by squeezing the radiator hose connected to the thermostat housing..if there is no coolant running in it the thermostat is close then replace it.

Where is the thermostat located on a 1991 Mercury Capri?

The thermostat is located inside the housing on the right side of the engine. There is about as big as a woman's wrist running from the radiator to the engine on the right. It connects to the housing in question. There is generally a bolt on the top and nut on the bottom of this housing that will needs to be removed. Inside lies the thermostat.

That depends on the thermostat. If it's a 185 thermostat, the engine should run at 185. If it's running too hot, check the thermostat, radiator and water pump. If it's running too cold, replace the thermostat.
