Your sunbird is only a one year difference from mine, so it should be the same, when you open the hood, on top of the rad, on the left hand side, should be your rad cap. When you get that off, there should be a square-ish "hook" inside, right up top, that is your thermostat. To get it out, pull on it, that's all just pull, it should put up some resistance, that's normal, the "hook" shold have a circular piece attached to it. Once you get it out put in the new one. It's actually very simple, anyways, i hope that helps.
thermostat is located under radiator cap!
The thermostat is in the radiator. Open the radiator lid and pull the thermostat out.
they did make a sunbird in 1998!
On a 1993 Pontiac Sunbird with a V6 engine, the thermostat is located in the engine block, specifically at the end of the upper radiator hose. To access it, you typically need to remove the upper radiator hose and the thermostat housing, which is secured by bolts. Once the housing is removed, you can replace the thermostat itself. Always make sure to consult a repair manual for specific details and safety precautions.
The thermostat is located inside the radiator. Remove the radiator cap and pull the thermostat up. Remember to put the replacement thermostat in the same position push the new thermostat down in the radiator. The O-ring gasket will automatically seal.
the part with the spring goes towards the motor,
Most thermostats are located in the thermostat housing which is at the lower end of the large top radiator hose.
AnswerI have a 93 sunbird. The thermostat is located right under the radiator cap. Wait for the car to cool down. remove the radiator cap. you will see an aluminum bar pull the bar out and that is your thermostat. top off the coolant before installing the new thermostat. put the new thermostat in. push on it a little bit to make sure you get a good seal and then replace the radiator cap. That is all there is to it. the thermostat on these cars is really easy to change and i have done it several times.
replace the shift cable
Thermostat is probably stuck in the open position or the system was not bled properly. Bleed the system properly and if it still exhibits the same symptoms, replace the thermostat. You may have purchased a bad new one.
Pontiac Sunbird was created in 1975.
at the end of the top hose from the radiator under that ball like connection to the head
