the thermosts on a 96 olds achieva is on the transmission side of the engine toward the middle and is hard to reach. it is best to use samll 1/4" tools to remove it and sometimes made easier by removing exhaust shrouds. other wise it's held in by two bolts and comes loose fairly easy. The thermostat on the 1996 2.3L and 2.4L (Quad 4)engines is located above the radiator outlet pipe in the water pump cover which can be reached from under the vehicle on the passenger side. Note: The bolts are accessible from the top of the engine between the no. 2 and 3 exhaust manifold runners. It may be necessary to remove the engine to transaxle support brace to facilitate removal of the radiator outlet pipe. On all other engines the thermostat is located in the coolant outlet housing on the cylinder head.
