Could someone post directions on how to change the thermostat on a 2002 Pont. Aztek? Is it any different than a 2003?
It shouldn't be any different....

To change the thermostat in a 2002 Pontiac Aztek, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Drain the coolant from the radiator, then remove the upper radiator hose connected to the thermostat housing. Unbolt the thermostat housing to access the thermostat, replace it with a new one, and reassemble by reversing the steps. Finally, refill the coolant and check for leaks.
Where is the fuel shut off on 2002 aztek
The thermostat is located in the housing where the top radiator hose connects to the engine. You will have to disconnect the hose and unbolt the housing to get to the thermostat.
It doesn't matter. A thermostat is a non-serviceable item. If it is bad, you replace it. That probably isn't your problem though.

Yes (all Azteks have the same engine. Mind you, Azteks were only made from 2001-2005) - GM 3400 3.4-liter V6 185 Horse Power and 210lbs of torque. Many GM cars have this engine, including the Pontiac Grand Am, which says "RAM AIR" under the hood, but has no such thing. :-D lol
The Aztek holds 5 qts of oil
On a 2002 Pontiac Sunfire with a 2.2-liter engine, the thermostat is located on the engine's cylinder head, at the end of the upper radiator hose. To access it, you typically need to remove the upper radiator hose and the thermostat housing. Once the housing is removed, you can replace the thermostat. Always ensure the engine is cool before attempting any repairs.
To replace the thermostat on a 2002 Cavalier 22 Ecotec, drain the radiator and remove the upper hose assembly. Replace the thermostat and refill the radiator.
Just the thermostat and the gasket.
I just had one replaced on my 2001 Aztek. It is inside the fuel tank. This was a costly experience. Fuel pumps are expensive then the labor to drop the fuel tank and replace it is crazy!!
