To install a new thermostat with only 2 wires, first turn off the power to the heating or cooling system. Remove the old thermostat and note which wires are connected to it. Connect the 2 wires to the corresponding terminals on the new thermostat. Secure the new thermostat to the wall and turn the power back on. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for programming and setting the new thermostat.
Yes, you can install your own thermostat, if you don't have central air its actually pretty easy, there are only two wires to connect! Here is step by step instructions: http://homerepair.about.com/od/heatingcoolingrepair/ss/tstat_install_4.htm
The thermostat only opens when it reaches a set temperature. For instance a 195 degree thermostat opens at 195 degrees. Just install the thermostat, and do not mess with it. Install it spring down.The thermostat only opens when it reaches a set temperature. For instance a 195 degree thermostat opens at 195 degrees. Just install the thermostat, and do not mess with it.

Did you install the correct temperature thermostat? Was it possibly installed up side down? Spring goes toward engine block. Did you bleed all the air out of the system? If you are saying the fan only runs on the low speed setting, then the Blower Motor Resistor is bad.
check the thermostat dude may need replacing
To properly connect a thermostat with only 2 wires in the wiring setup, you will need to identify the two wires, typically labeled as R and W. The R wire is the power wire, and the W wire is the heating wire. Connect the R wire to the R terminal on the thermostat and the W wire to the W terminal. Make sure the thermostat is compatible with a 2-wire setup and follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
try replacing the thermostat
Try replacing the thermostat.
Replacing Spark Plug High Voltage WiresNO, not necessarily. Spark plug wires only need to be replaced maybe once or twice in the life of a vehicle, IF THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PHYSICALLY DAMAGED OR ABUSED.Therefore, it is normally not necessary to replace the plug wires when replacing the plugs.
I just had my head replaced and cracked my thermo housing when trying to find the leak prior to. The dealer wanted $88.00 for the thermo housing, it is a dealer only part. Thermostat is only about $10.00.
How to install a coolant temperature senThe only one I've ever changed was on a 3.1 litre V6 and it's located right behing the thermostat housing. All you need to do is unplug the clip with 2 wires and unscrew the sensor from the block (usually with a 1/2 inch end wrench). Installation is just the opposite.
It is not necessary to replace the coilpacks as routine maintenance. At around $70 each, it is a significant expense. Replace only the boots that connect from the coilpacks to the plugs. I think JC Whitney has the boots for $4 each. Replacing the boots is equivalent to replacing the wires on an older car. Do not replace the small wires going to each coil. They are not high energy wires.
One reason is the thermostat regulates the flow of coolant through the engine. If it's stuck open, it may not allow the engine to reach its optimal operating temperature.
