Changed thermostat in a 02 Kia Sportage why is car still overheating?

check your radiator, fan and coolant levels. There may be a crack in your radiator. your water pump may not be working, you may have a water leak you just haven't found yet in a hose or radiator. make sure you're puttinjg enough water in your coolant jug after you refilled it and cranked it up because the water will go down after running for awhile or check your oil stick and make sure theres no whitish bubbles mixed in with your oil because that could indicate that water is mixing with your oil... not a good sighn at all... that means your heads in your motor are cracked or hopefully just warped.


Where is the thermostat located on a Lexus?

locate the TOP radiator hose and follow it to the engine block. it will be at the end of that line and have electrical wire going to it. probably 2 bolts to remove and the housing will pull off. Viola, theres ya thermostat.AnswerIt also depends on which year and model, like 93 GS300 the thermostat is located on the side engine block follow it to the BOTTOM radiator hose. It has only two bolts to remove. On a 94 ES 300, the thermostat is located at the end of the bottom radiator hose and is mounted to the engine block by three 10mm nuts. I highly recommend getting the thermostat from the dealer. I tried one from Kragen and it didn't fit as tight and was very flimsy compared to the OEM.
