How do you replace the thermostat located on a 1993 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder?
my 1993 Toyota Camry radiator had a hole in it it was overheating. I replaced the radiator. The car is still overheating where is the thermostat located. First, drain your coolant from the radiator. Find your lower radiator hose and follow it to the metal housing. This is the thermostat housing. Remove the 2 nuts with a 10mm wrench. Remove the thermostat and replace with new one and new gasket. Re-install and re-fill your radiator with new coolant. Drive the car with heater running. Allow the engine to cool and top off the radiator. Add coolant to the reservoir to halfway between Full and Low.

Several solutions: Change the thermostat (could be sticking shut).....backflush your radiator....could be dirty and clogged, replace radiator hoses, check for pin hole leaks in your radiator. Is the fluid level staying normal or are you constantly adding anti-freeze? Halfway on the scale is normal.

Why do the fans turn on when you slow down in your Lincoln LS?
If you are referring to the radiator fans, it is because the engine collant is heating up. It is not uncommon for an engine to heat more when driving slowly as less air moves through the radiator and over the engine. If you are concerned about it or the engine temp climbs above the halfway mark on your guage, change the thermostat. If this does not correct it, you should have the engine scoped by a certified mechanic.
Should the radiator be drained completely before removing thermostat?
Not unless you really want to; some will run out when you remove the hose but just catch it in a pan and put it back when finished. Since the long life coolant is very expensive, drain the radiator halfway (or at least below the thermostat level) with a small pump into a clean bucket. It is important that the fluid remains clean, contaminants will ruin the internals of the coolant system over time. When completed put the coolant back in and bleed the system. Hope this helps. "G"
