Best Answer

On the 2000 models with the 3400 engine in it you must first remove the throttle body. Removing the throttle body makes access to the thermostat housing very easy. Simply take 2 bolts out of the housing and remove the thermostat. After replacing thermostat you must bleed the air out of the system because it is pressurized. Not bleeding out the air can cause severe engine damage if allowed to run. overheatin of the engine is the first sign.

Where is the thermostat located and how do you replace it on a 1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP?

For thermostat replacement step by step instructions with pics- http://www.pfyc.com/supportfiles/tstat/tstat.htm The pics as shown are for a GP model, but the GTP shares the same block so the thermostat is in the same place. Your model year may require a gasket instead of an optional "o" ring. Buy one before you start and when you pull it apart, see if it has a gasket. -If so replace it, if not return the unused part. Hope this helps. "G"

Why does upper hose collapse on Pontiac grand prix?

The 2 reasons I've experienced for this are:Not enough coolant in radiatorThermostat not working correctly (most common), also don't think that the car not overheating means thermostat is ok, on this model there is a bypass built into thermostat, if anything the engine will run below normal temp, BTW a great idea WTG Pontiac !
