Best Answer

The thermostat is located on the engine block where the upper radiator hose attaches to the block. This is an easy fix but remember to always do this with the engine cold in order to prevent burning yourself with hot coolant.

Remove the radiator hose clamp where it attaches to the block and then remove the thermostat from the block. It can be just gummed and and cleaned in a pot of vinegar in the kitchen but since its a relatively inexpensive part I would recommend just replacing it. This is also a good time to check the condition of your radiator hoses and replace them if they collapse easily under finger pressure.

Good luck !!!
