The needle is getting stuck at the top of the gauge. Take face plate off and bend the edge of gauge down so not to get stuck up There again! If the gauge is not moving then I would suspect that. If your car starts and runs and the engine gets warm and the radiator gets warm and you can get heat out of your heater then yoru thermostat is okay. Make sure your temp sending unit, which should be out near the thermostat housing, is connected. If you find it, pull off the connection and make sure the connection is clean. If you start the car and only the motor gets hot, do not overheat the engine. If the engine gets above operating temp and the radiator stays cold, then it may be the thermostat or a broken water pump.
Yes. Wall is no problem, as long as the thermostat is not installed above or near the radiator (or fcu or any other heating element).
The 1997 Chevrolet Camaro 3.8 liter engine coolant temperature sending unit can be found on the front of the engine. The coolant temperature sending unit will be approximately 3 inches above the thermostat housing.
I would have to say, change the thermostat in it.
The top radiator hose is above the thermostat. If the top radiator hose is hot, the thermostat is opening. The thermostat is not the problem. Perhaps the radiator is clogged up or the water pump is bad. Look elsewhere.
above the radio. above the air vents.
The thermostat is located behind the timing belt above the alternator when you look for it you will see a round shape above the alternator and you take off the two bolts on the cover that is round and your thermostat will be there
The thermostat is located below the alternator on the drivers side. The coolant sensor is right above the thermostat.
On the left side of the engine above the oil pan
should be directly above the oil filter
under the thing and above the other thing
the thermostat on most mercury's is located just above the muffler. must remove exhaust pipe and muffler to reach thermostat. good luck.
At the rear of the engine, above the bell housing.
