Try either lubrication or heat
The thermostat is on the top-right of the engine toward the front. The upper raditor hose connects to it. MAKE SURE the engine is cold before attempting to remove the thermostat. There are 2 bolts which secure the thermostat housing. Remove the bolts, remove the thermostat housing and the thermostat sits right underneath. Reach in and remove it. There some good pictures at this link to help locate the thermostat housing..http://www.autoclinix.com/Manifold2.htm
basically just remove the bolts holding it up, disconnect the harness, remove and replace!

There are two small bolts on the side that hold in the airbag, remove those and the airbag will come out, revealing a T60 (IIRC) bolt in the center.
The thermostat is between a housing and the top of the engine, at the end of the upper radiator hose. There are two bolts on either side of the housing that need to be removed. The air intake (The black plastic cover, from the air filter to intake.) is in the way. There is one small bolt that needs to be removed (on the back/ passenger side) this should give you enough wiggle room to get at the housing bolt. Once the two bolts are removed, lift the housing out of the way and you will see the thermostat. Remove it and the gasket. Clean the surfaces if they require it, and place the new thermostat in. (the spring side goes into the engine) Replace the two bolts, and the air intake housing and you're done. (if you start the car and it won't idle, some vacuum hoses have become attached. re-attach and it will idle fine.)
Follow the top rad hose. It's inside the thermostat housing.
