Buy the Service Manual and follow the instructions.
Mercury Tracer was created in 1987.
Follow the upper radiator hose from the radiator to the engine block. The point where the hose connects to the engine is where the thermostat is typically located.
On your 1994 MERCURY TRACER, the THERMOSTAT is: UNDER HOOD, DRIVER SIDE, UPPER ENGINE AREA, ENGINE END OF UPPER RADIATOR HOSE, MOUNTED IN COOLANT OUTLET HOUSING. The upper radiator hose will lead you to the thermostat housing as described above. It is much easier to access if you remove the distributor which sits above the thermostat. Mark your plug wires if you unplug them.
To change the thermostat on a 1988 Mercury Tracer, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the negative battery cable. Drain the coolant from the radiator, then remove the upper radiator hose connected to the thermostat housing. Unbolt the thermostat housing, replace the old thermostat with a new one (ensuring the gasket is properly seated), and reassemble everything in reverse order, topping off the coolant and reconnecting the battery when done.
