Changing a thermostat on a '99 Plymouth Neon?

Can anyone comment on how difficult is it to change the thermostat on a '99 Plymouth Neon?? Parts run $25 bucks, but I would like to save labor if possible. Thanks.Changing a thermostat on a %26039;99 Plymouth Neon?
its pretty easy find the radiator the big silver thing in the frontthen find the upper hose and find where it meets the engine there there will be a couple of studs take those out lift it off and pull out the thermostat out of the hose and then put in the new one THE RIGHT WAY and put the hose back on and make sure the temp of the new thermostat is the sameChanging a thermostat on a %26039;99 Plymouth Neon?
follow the top radiator hose to the motor. unscrew the tobolts and take off the hose clamps. lift the metal spout the two bolt were holding down and theres the thermostat. You'll lose a little antifreeze, so you need to add back. I recomend the pre-mixed stuff.Changing a thermostat on a %26039;99 Plymouth Neon?

How hard is it to change a thermostat please.?

We have a Honeywell Thermostat in our house, combination cooling and heat, looks like it has gone out as we have redid the pilot light and the cool will not come on,nor the heat, therefore, we think it is the thermostat, is it very hard to change, it looks like you just unscrew it and disconnect the wires and reconnect a new one in the same place. It is only 3 yrs. old, we also changed the batteries with no luck,it doesn't look like it would be too hard, a little scary for someone who has never done it. Any help appreciated, just daughter and mom living here, no expert in sight. Thanks much. How hard is it to change a thermostat please.?

The big question is why did the pilot light go out in the first place.

It has nothing to do with the thermostat. The local utilities will

come to your home and check it out for you, most likely, it will

be free of charge. Just speak with a representative when you call

them. Are you sure the pilot light is still lit ? Don't wait till you are

freezing or your pipes freeze.



Good luck to you..How hard is it to change a thermostat please.?
Yep, its easy. They come with instructions. I got a little scared because the wires weren't EXACTLY the same color shades, so I called their help line and they were very nice and talked me through the whole thing. You can do it!How hard is it to change a thermostat please.?
You are right about removing and replacing the wires. That is all there is to it. They are low voltage so you don't have to worry about being shocked. New ones come with instructions. Take your time and you will be fine. Good luck.How hard is it to change a thermostat please.?
wrong forum, but the new one will come with a wiring diagram.

  • OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?

    So my next guess is the heater core, if so, where is it and how hard is it to change ?OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?
    Bandit is correct despite the thumbs down someone gave him. You have to flush the heater core seperatly from the radiator, just disconnect both hoses at the fire wall and runa GENTLE stream of water through it in both directions. You will see how much rust and gunk comes out. Don't use too much pressure or you could damage the core causing it to leak into the car interior.OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?
    Its not the heater core. Means there is still air in the cooling system. Have to find that bleed port, on the highest point of the cooling system, and slowly open it to get the air out.OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?
    make sure you run the car long enough to get the engine warm. otherwise it will not blow heat. i know it is simple but sometimes i overlook the simple things.OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?
    There is a valve on the hoses that supply coolant to the heater. It is probably not working. Usually vacuum operated.OK, I Just changed my thermostat and had my Taurus flushed and filled (radiator)and still no heat from heater?
    if you just flushed the radiator then that,s not going to help the heater core. you need to flush it too.

    Changing the thermostat for a 1998 Civic?

    make sure your car is cold before u start the job. empty your radiator and turn the heater control to hot, and try to blow out as much coolant as u can to prepare the system to be flushed as now is the time to do it. follow the lower radiator hose up to the thermostat housing, remove the clamp and then the hose. there will be 2 10mm head bolts holdong the housing on as well as a third bolt holding ground wires, remove the ground wires and then the holding bolts. shove a garden hose down all your openings and flush till clean water comes out. put the new thermostat with a new gasket into place and reverse the removal steps. the TRICK to filling up the coolant. a couple of inches behind the thermostat, on the housing, is a bleeder for the coolant. because u flushed with water, pour pure coolant up to 3/4 of a gallon in to the radiator. mix whats left with water to 50/50 and top off. fire up your car and look for any leaks. good luck

    I am trying to change the thermostat on my VW Golf but can not figure out how to get to it. Please help How do I get to the thermostat on a 1995 VW Golf?
    It's installed on the bottom of the water pump housing. It has the lower

    radiator hose attached to it. Make sure you observed the position of

    the thermostat and seals during removal. You will need to go to your

    dealer and get the thermostat, gasket, coolant. Approx 1 hour to replace. And another 30 minutes to fill and bleed the cooling system.

    You do know how to bleed the system don't you? Torque specs on the housing bolts are 10NM. Good luck!

    You follow your upper radiator hose (i think), and it will lead to a housing, inside that housing is your thermostat. Take the housing off and dont forget to put sealant on it when you put it back on. You might want something to catch anti-freeze with also, it will make a little mess

    I have no heat in the car. I changed the thermostat then flushed the heater core then flushed radiator. I put cardboard in front of radiator. Still no heat! Cold in michigan!

    Do I need to change the core or is there something I'm missing?How do I change the heater core on a %26039;95 chevy caprice?
    The only time you should have to change the heater core is when it's leaking. I would have to look at it to exactly know, but you should check the following:

    Does your heater motor work?

    Is your coolant level up?

    Is there an air lock? do you need to bleed the system?

    Does the engine run hot? ( you might have a bad water pump)

    What is the heat range on your new thermostat?

    Lastly, if anybody was fooling around under the dash they may have un plugged one of the vacuum lines that go to your heat selection switch. Try to get under there or remove the board that the switch is on and carefully inspect the back of the switch. You want to make sure that all the vacuum lines are plugged in without un plugging anything.

    NATHANIEL G has some good points and covers good areas however, I have seen heater cores in need of replacement due to plug up. In most cases it has been on GM vehicles because of the lack of performing coolant flushes. GM claims one can go 5 years or 100K miles before flushing the system out because dex-cool is supposed have longer life. Anyone thats been in the business long enough knows otherwise and thats why we recommend to our customers that the coolant be power flushed as soon as their GM warranty expires. That stuff turns to gel and causes all sorts of problems.



    On a final note, NATHANIEL G suggested you check the heater control valve. Thats actually the first thing I would have checked, I'll walk you through it. Now I'm going assume that this is your only problem since you were not too specific in regards to weather or not the car is actually reaching operating temperature. Once your car is fully warmed, locate your heater control valve which should be toward the firewall on your right side in the engine compartment. Now physically turn that valve to the opposite direction and hold it there while someone sits in the car with the heater on. Did warm air come out? If yes, then now you have to find out why; Is there a vacuum hose broken? etc. If not, thats the best I can do without you giving us further information and even then it's hard to diagnose things without physically being there.

    At the bottom of the radiator should be a nut which, when loosened will let the radiator empty. Alternatively, you can disconnect the bottom hose and empty it that way.



    As a quick point, it is not a good idea to run plain water for too long - as anti-freeze is used not only to prevent freeze-ups but ALSO contains a corrosion inhibitor.



    You might well find your water is a little rusty looking when you drain down, don't panic unduly, but you might then want to put the garden hose i the top of the radiator and keep it running until the water is running clean. THEN drain down. put pipe back on (or tighten up the bolt) and then refill.How do I change the antifreeze on my car?

    Simply lay on your back, shimmy under the front of the car where the radiator is(pull a nice size flat pan under with you to catch the fliud you are going to let out) search for a butterfly shape valve(adjustable wench needed) to open the radiator drain valve and let the water drain into the pan untill the radiator is empty. Close the valve and, come from under the car and refill your new concoction through the top of the radiator after taking the pressure cap of. Note; use eye goggles when working underneath and check for any leak at the drain valve and you don't have to remain under the car while it is draining.

    How can I get my downstairs gas furnace to kick in quicker when I increase degrees on the thermostat?

    When I wake up in the morning the temperature in the house may show 69 degrees on the thermostat. I increase the thermostat to 74 degrees to get some heat. It never comes on. I switch the fan from auto to on and then back and it may come on. I take the door off the furnace, put it back, I hear a click, then it kicks in.

    the blower shouldn't come on until the furnace heats up other wise it will be blowing cold air, so there should be a delay between raising the temperature and the blower coming on however if the furnace is warmed up and the blower is not on then the limit switch might need adjusted or replaced.How can I get my downstairs gas furnace to kick in quicker when I increase degrees on the thermostat?
    I would suggest getting a programmable digital thermostat to put on your system; that way, you can program the thermostat to turn your system on just before you usually get up. Most gas-fired systems have to warm up before coming on, so that's probably the delay you're experiencing; it has to heat the air that's already in the system before the blower comes on, or you would have COLD air coming out of the vents. Your upstairs is almost certainly warmer than your downstairs most of the time, so that may account for the differences. If you still think there's a problem, then certainly it would be a good idea to have the system checked by a reputable repair service.How can I get my downstairs gas furnace to kick in quicker when I increase degrees on the thermostat?

    Buy either a Chilton or a Haynes repair book for your vehicle and it tells how to do it.



    1. Raise the hood.



    2. Look at your engine.



    3. Underneath the intake manifold there is a triangular piece of metal that has 3 bolts that connects it to the other piece of metal and it has a black hose coming out of it.



    4. Remove the hose and tuck it out of the way before you do anything.



    5. Take the 3 bolts out of this triangular piece of metal.



    6. When you remove this piece the thermostat should just fall right out of the whole that was behind the triangular piece of metal.



    7. Insert the new thermostat where the old one was.



    8. Hold the triangular piece with one hand while starting the first bolt with your hand.



    9. Once the first bolt is started start the other 2 bolts.



    10. Now tighten all the bolts.



    11. Put the hose back on.



    12. Crank the vehicle to make sure everthing is running ok.Can anyone give detailed instuctions on how to chage a thermostat or give a link?

    just follow the top hose line from your radiator to your engine. it will lead you to the thermostat housing.. undo the hose from the housing and then take the 3 boltz out of the housing unit. and lift it off. inside you will find your thermostat.



    To check to see if it is working properly or not before replacing it. you can stick in in a pan of boiling water and see if it opens like it should. if it doesnt then replace. if it opens. then that is not your problem. Also make sure that you are using the right kiind of antifreeze. some cars take a different type and if you use the regular antifreeze that is green, you can ruin your engine. That too will cause your overheating problems if you use the wrongkind. then you will have to burp it and all kinds of fun stuff to fix it. check your owners manual or it should tell ya on the radiator.

    If you find that it is your thermostat. replace it where the other one was at in the same direction. and then you have to have some sealant that you put around the housing along with the gasket that comes with it. make sure that you have a real tight seal when you put the housing back on the motor and then tighten down the housing and then put back on the radioator hose and tighten. That simple. Good luck!

    1. Thoroughly clean the thermostat housing.

    2. Remove the bolts holding the top cover.

    3. Remove the old thermostat.

    4. Clean the housing of any residual gasket pieces or sealant.

    5. Replace the new thermostat. Use the correct gasket and approved sealing compound.

    6. Replace and tighten the bolts.

    7. Start engine and check for leaks.

    Hi



    As a general rule, if you follow the top hose from the radiator you will find the thermostat housing at the other end. It will be dome shaped and held down by three bolts.



    Before you do anything, turn the heater control FULLY ONTO HOT, to minimise the chance of an airlock, remembering that if it is electrically controlled, you may need to switch on the ignition to power the heater control, and then switch it back off after the adjustment.



    Before you undo the bolts, pull the bottom hose from the radiator and drain the cooling system down by about half in order that the level falls lower than the thermostat, then refit the bottom hose.



    Remove the three bolts, remove the old thermostat, clean the mating surfaces, fit the new thermostat with the supplied new seal, and refit the thermostat housing with a new gasket.



    Next you must top up the cooling system again with a mixture of antifreeze and water (preferably de-ionised water) as follows:-



    Top up the coolant to the max level, and with the coolant cap still removed, run the engine until the fan comes on.



    Whilst the engine is running, keep a close eye on the coolant level as it may go down slightly, if so, top it back up. Look for leaks around the thermostat housing and hose, and around the radiator bottom hose.



    Once the cooling fan has been on once or twice, switch off the engine and replace the coolant cap.



    Job done!



    Very best regards

Thanks.1997 Hinda Accord thermostat problem?
    You've created an air bubble in the cooling system. After the car is cool enough to open the radiator cap do so. With the engine off crack the bleeder screw that's on the thermostat housing and pour coolant into the radiator until you see it stop spitting air out and there's a constant flow of coolant coming out the bleeder screw then tighten up the bleeder screw put the radiator cap back on and your done. Good luck and hope this helps.1997 Hinda Accord thermostat problem?
    is there a ground you left off that is held on by the thermost bolts1997 Hinda Accord thermostat problem?
    Check all the wires in the area you were working in. Make sure you didn't accidentally disconnect a wire or rip one off its connector.1997 Hinda Accord thermostat problem?
    When you changed the thermostat you introduced an air bubble into the cooling system. That keeps coolant from getting to the thermo-lift (cold idle) valve at normal idle speeds, which causes the valve to open and raise the idle. Then the higher idle gets hot coolant to the valve, which closes and lowers the idle. The cycle starts over again.



    To fix it, open the bleed nipple on the top of the thermostat housing about half a turn with a 12 mm socket on an extension. Close it when a steady stream of coolant comes out. Life is good.

    Ok a few questions for you. Does the blower blow air? And did all the air get out of the system? If it didn't it could be causing a air pocket that won't let the fluid flow. but if all of that is good then it really shouldn't cost that much depending on where you liveHow much to fix a heater core?
    When you had done all of the items. When you where running the car did you turn on the heater? It will take some time for the new fluids to make its way back into the core. Start car and turn on the heater. Open radiator cap first to get a good flow. Warm up car. Check after about 10 min. to see if you have good flow in radiator. When there is a good flow. Then check to see if you have heat. Replace radiator cap. Then recheck heater. If not working still, Then check for a collapsed heater feed line hose.How much to fix a heater core?
    The labor time needed to make a heater core repair is 5 hours per ALLDATA. The factory heater core is $74.00, so this is not a really quick or cheap repair. I'm guessing from what you have done so far on the vehicle that you are having overheating problems. The only thing that really happens to heater cores is they begin leaking when they get older. If you are having overheating problems....the first thing to check (since you have replaced the thermostat) would be to make sure the electric fan is kicking on like it is supposed to....these are controlled with by a module and I believe they operate at 2 different speeds. I hope this helps.

  • 2005 Dodge Neon keeps overheating even after changing thermostat?

    One day my car started overheating and the heat stopped working. Did a check online and figured it was my thermostat. Changed thermostat but its still doing the exact same thing.



    Did a thermostat check in boiling water and it works



    Water pump does not appear to be leaking or making any unusual noises



    Car runs fine, other than overheating and no heat



    Drained radiator for the first time in 4 years today. Color was orangish red (not sure what the original antifreeze color was). Very small amount came out, just drops in fact. I've never noticed any external coolant leaks.



    Refilled it with water, ran for a few minutes, saw no leaks, drained again and it all came out. Top and bottom radiator hoses are both hot when engine is hot.



    After refilling radiator with water, did a bleeding technique by running car on moderate incline with radiator cap off, saw lots of air bubbles for several minutes (looking into thermostat housing where radiator cap leads to). Not sure how long I should have let it run but I did it for about 4 or 5 minutes, then got impatient waiting for the bubbles to cease (seemed like it should have been done bubbling but Ive never done this before)



    Water comes out of exhaust pipes but only occassionally, chalking it up to condensation. Did notice a VERY VERY TINY amount of white smoke today, but it went away and I chalked it up to it being about 40 or so degrees out today. Hopefully just steam.



    Oil looks fine, no milky white or bubbly look to it at all.



    Coolant resovoir does not smell like exhaust, nor does it bubble to my knowledge.



    I noticed when I popped radiator cap off I had some reddish orange grime built up on it and a little on the inside of the thermostat housing.



    I've done all of these checks and spent the last week trying to figure it out on my own. I am now resorting to help from others ;-) It's still doing the exact same thing. It doesn't really get too hot if I'm just idling, its when I start driving that it shoots up. It takes about 5-8 minutes for it to get close enough to the red to make me shut it off. The temp has been between 20 and 40 degrees here since this has happened.

    I would really appreciate any help. I am at my wits end trying to figure this out. I go from thinking its compression problems, to the thermostat, to the water pump, to a hose leak, to a head gasket....I can't figure it out. I don't have a lot of money. I do have a 7 year powertrain warranty but have no idea if this kind of stuff is covered in it, and I'm nervous to take it to the dealer because I don't have insurance and I have had some late payments in the recent past.2005 Dodge Neon keeps overheating even after changing thermostat?

    Call up the dealership and have the vehicle towed and fixed under the warranty that you payed for.2005 Dodge Neon keeps overheating even after changing thermostat?
    i think when you was installing the thermostat in it you might have cracked the housing or the intake on it,you need to check this because that will make it run hot on you and also make it loose coolant,you wont hear a head gasket making any noise on it,you,ll only notice a slight amount of smoke or steam from it ,you could have got a bad thermostat or that one is gone bad ,run a compression check on the engine and that will tell you if its got a blown head gasket or not on it without tearing the engine apart,the thermostat doesn't have anything to do with the compression on it,since its covered just take it on and let the warranty cover it,you could have also bought a bad thermostat to put in it also,it happens a lot these days,good luck.2005 Dodge Neon keeps overheating even after changing thermostat?
    I agree with the other poster, I think the head gasket is leaking. Have it towed to a Chrysler dealer. It's still under warranty, so they will fix it. The fact that you are late on some payments is irrelevent to the service department. Headgaskets are covered, and the tow is covered as well. It won't cost you a dime.



    Good luck.2005 Dodge Neon keeps overheating even after changing thermostat?
    If you had a bad head gasket, you would definetly get the milky color in you oil.



    You have to finish bleeding out the air in the cooling system.

    You said that you %26quot;ran out of patience, waiting for the bubbles- I never done this before%26quot;. THAT was your mistake.



    In order to bleed out all of the air....

    Fill up the radiator with antifreeze, if not full already.

    Leave off the cap and start the engine.

    Wait for the coolant to rise up and out of the radiator (with engine running)

    When the thermostat opens up - the coolant level in the radiator will drop suddenly. (this takes 10-15 min, depending on how cold it is outside and whether the engine is a little warm or completely cold)

    **At this point (level drops suddenly) the remaining air that's trapped will release into the radiator and you can see the coolant circulate inside the radiator-when you refill**

    That's when you refill the radiator with more antifreeze. leave some for the reserve tank, because of the air trapped in the heater core.

    replace the radiator cap and turn off the motor. Done.......



    I've talked to others that use the %26quot;bubble method%26quot; for bleeding out air, but I prefer the method that I just gave you, because it always works.

    Sure it's a little messy, it wastes a little antifreeze and it's not for wimps.

    But it ALWAYS WORKS.2005 Dodge Neon keeps overheating even after changing thermostat?
    You really did a good check, however im sorry to say that your problem is either a blown head gasket or a cracked head, the combustion gases in the water jacket are creating a vapor lock type of condition stopping the flow of coolant (that's why the heat quite working) those neon's are known for head gasket problems. it's a pretty major task to replace the head and or gasket, I've done a bunch of them and there always a pain in the azz, but yea, that's what the problem is.

    i acually did this the other day. its kind of behind the radiator where the hoses are connected to. the ones that go to the radiator. the thermostat is under that metal cover piece thing its got like 3 bolts on the cover. its easy all you have to do is first drain the anti freeze(get under the car and loosen the petcock), this may take a few minutes. when its drained disconntect the two hoses. then take off the metal cover and its inside there. be careful with the cover though because its very easy to break the gasket but its easy enough to get a new one.

    17. Start the engine and allow it to reach normal operating temperature, then check for leaks and proper thermostat operation.

    Any one know how to change the thermostat on a Hotpoint ff72p fridge/freezer?

    The thermostat is basically the knob that you use to set the required temperature. Take the knob off, take the cover off, and you will see a switch with 2 wires on it plus an earth connection. Remove the wires, remove the fixing nut and follow the copper tube to the end, removing it as you go. You should finish up with a switch in your hand that has a copper tube attached to it. Take it to your local spares place, get a replacement, and fitting is a reverse of removal. Should take no more than half an hour.

    2005 Chevrolet Cavalier / Thermostat change

    I have a 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier that needs a new thermostat. I can't believe where it is located. You need to remove the exhaust system in order to access the thermostat. Has anyone else dealt with this headache? The dealer wants a minimum of 4 hrs in their GM shop and a hefty $250 or better to replace this damn little $8 part. Should I attempt this on my own? Has anyone else done one of these? If so, how? Are there any short-cuts other than removing the exhaust system?2005 Chevrolet Cavalier / Thermostat change
    Your thermostat is beneath the exhaust manifold which must be removed in order to access it. The job takes approx. 2.2 hours and it would be a good idea to drain the coolant before starting. However, on an 05 Cavalier you shouldn't be replacing The thermostat this soon. If its overheating, be sure that the cooling fans are kicking on whenever the temperature gets high. This would sound like a more reasonable issue.

    Best of luck.

    Assuming you have a carbureted 350(even if it is crossfire, same should apply). Remove the upper radiator hose that goes into the intake manifold. There should be two bolts holding the thermostat housing down. make sure the engine is cool and remove the two bolts. under the housing there will be a round metal diaphram lookin thing and thats the thermostat. you can just take it out with your hand and put the new one in. then put in the new gasket and hook it all back up.

    Drain a little antifreeze or it will leak from around the thermostat when you remove it. There should be a drain at the bottom of the radiator.



    IF I remember correctly the thermostat is under the large hose that comes out of the top of the radiator and goes to the engine. Follow the hose from the radiator to the engine and THAT is where the thermostat should be.

    Loosen the clamp that holds the hose onto the housing and slip the hose off.

    There are two bolts in the housing that must be removed and the thermostat is supposed to be in the housing.

    Pay attention to which way the spring is sitting. Toward the engine or away?

    Clean the surface and use either silicone sealant or a gasket. Place the thermostat in the opening on the engine and position the housing over it and install the bolts, the slip the hose back on and tighten the clamp.How do i change the thermostat on a 1991 jeep cherokee inline 6 , 4.0 litre?

    Be careful when draining the anti-freeze! At least with my 93 Wrangler with the 4.0, it drained out and hit part of the sterring stabilizer or something (A thin metal bar running the width of the suspension in the front) and got EVERYWHERE, and this stuff is really, really really toxic to all mammals, and dogs and cats think its very tasty stuff! It only takes a few teaspoons to kill a cat.



    The antifreeze (ethylene glycol) crystallizes in the liver... bad news.



    You can get pet safe anti-freeze, Prestone makes it, its made of propylene glycol, same stuff thats found in a lot of processed foods and shampoos and stuff. Not %26quot;good%26quot; for you, but not poisonous, and safer for animals if you ever have a water pump blow, or a leak, or are just klutzy like me. It works just as well or Prestone wouldn't sell it I am sure.

    No need to spend money on a radiator without first testing some things.

    Feel both heater hoses, they should be close to the same temperature. The larger 3/4%26quot; hose is the inlet and should feel slightly warmer than the smaller 5/8' outlet. On most full size pick up trucks, the positioning of the heater core places it higher then the radiator fill and can trap air in the heater core, this will usually give some heat for a moment then go cold. This doesn't sound like what you are explaining.

    It sounds like there is some blockage in the heater core. Flushing the heater core actually is a good idea, but make sure to back flush it too.

    When purging the coolant system, make sure the heater, not defrost, is on and the fan is on low. this will open the heater control valve and allow air to be forced out of the heater core.

    The only other thing I can think of that could be a problem, is a bad or weak radiator cap.

    Hope this helps. ChristopherNo heat in my 97 ford f150... changed thermostat..?

    Question have you ever flushed out the cooling system and put in anti freeze yet?The problem you might have is that the radiator might be plugged up, you think of changing the radiator for a new one.Because if you haven't flushed it out in awhile like years it might be that the reason for a plugged up radiator is the radiator get stuff built up on the inside of it and can't pass the coolant very well through the inside fins of the radiator and secondly when you refilled the radiator did you leave the engine run while filling it up because you might have air trap inside the cooling system and this can cause it not to heat up either but leave the heater on high while filling it up with anti freeze this will push the coolant through the system and get the air out and hope to get the heat you need.These are good type of engine that don't get the coolant through them very well air get trap somewhere in the system and can't get out while refilling them with anti freeze or coolant.Try these methods and see what happens.Good luck! hgm20002000@yahoo.com

    Thermostat change in MX3?

    My car doesn't ever seem to warm up or takes a very long time doing so. Someone has suggested that the thermostat is not working, but after doing some research I found that someone else changed theirs with no change. Could there be anything else wrong? It runs perfectly, but even though the heat gauge shoots up to half way shortly after running, it does not generate heat until it has run for quite some time, and even then very sparingly. Any idea how I can resolve this please?Thermostat change in MX3?
    Drain the coolant out of the radiator. Take the radiator off the car and fill it up with water and see if it comes out of the bottom of the radiator. If not the radiator is blocked which is causing your problem i have ahd this problem 4 or 5 times on mx3s and early mx5sThermostat change in MX3?
    it could be the heater matrixThermostat change in MX3?
    The radiator, in extreme cold, cools the coolant faster than the engine can heat it so your thermostat is closed more than open and coolant does not circulate properly. Therfore the heater can't put out warm air. You can partially cover your radiator to reduce the air flow and it will run hotter. Ever notice trucks with radiators partially blocked ?

    Volkswagen has a problem with the water pump impeller falling off causing overheating, running hot, no circulation, cooling fan not kicking on. If this might be your problem you can see the water pump impeller after removing the thermostat. To get the thermostat you need a 1/4%26quot; drive 8mm or 10mm socket with a 1/4%26quot; drive wobble socket. This may require removing the alternator on some models. Hope this helps.

    The symptom you describe sounds like your cooling fan is inoperative. You just said it yourself, OVERHEATING WHILE STANDING STILL= no air flow through radiator. During vehicle cruising at highway speeds, there is sufficient airflow circulating through the radiator, which would not require the cooling fan to operate. One way to check this is to turn on the AC, and see if the cooling fan comes on. If not, either the cooling fan motor itself, or wiring to the cooling fan is the cause. Another way to verify cooling fan operation is to disconnect the ECT sensor with the vehicle running, the fan should come on at HIGH speed. If not, the ECT or its associated wiring could be the cause. Hope this helps. Good luck.

    OK, its not a bad job at all. To locate the thermostat follow the top radiator hose to the engine. On most cars the thermostat will be located under where the hose connects to the engine. So first remove the hose on the engine side. By the way do this when the engine is cool. Now remove the thermostat hosing. Usually two bolts. Now you should see the thermostat. Clean both mating surfaces, replace thermostat with new gasket, gasket sealer is recommended re-attach the cover and then attach the hose. Top off coolant. Your all done!

    I flushed my radiator about three times until water was clear and then refilled with half and half, coolant/distilled water. I did this because it hadn't been done since I bought the truck ('95 Ford Ranger, 107K miles) from a neighbor two years before, plus the fact that the truck's coolant temp gauge needle was going past the middle mark but not all the way into %26quot;H.%26quot; Afterwards, it was a little better, but it still happened once in a while for long trips on the highway. Just changed the air filter w/ a K%26amp;N filter and strangely things seemed to improve, but the needle still moves a little past the middle. I don't know what else to do. So, I'm wondering about the thermostat...How do I know when to change the thermostat or know when it isn%26039;t working??
    If the engine takes too long to heat up then it probably is a bad thermostat. Watch the temp Gage and see if the temperature is in the proper range when the temperature gets up to the proper operating temp then the thermostat will open up letting the water circulate through the engine.You can tell when this happens as you may be able to hear the thermostat click and followed by a sudden and temporary drop in temperature as the cooler water from the radiator starts going through the engine and the warmer water from the engine goes to the radiator to be cooled by the fan also you may sense a sudden and temporary drop in engine speed when the fan kicks in .How do I know when to change the thermostat or know when it isn%26039;t working??
    thermostats go out often. they are easy enough to change and cheap. is your fan working? with it warming up your fan could have shorted out a while ago and it's just now affecting you temp gage. if it is okay. just change the thermostat. if that doesn't work pay for the diagnosticHow do I know when to change the thermostat or know when it isn%26039;t working??
    No idea how your gage is calibrated, but, most of the time a %26quot;stat%26quot; will stick open, not shut. That will cause too low of a temp and no heat from the heater. Too hot (in or real close to)the red and that is more apt to be from some other cause, fan, air flow etc.How do I know when to change the thermostat or know when it isn%26039;t working??

    First off what engine do you have? the thermostat should be changed every 2 years. You should have the cooling system pressure checked for leaks.

    how to change thermostatWhere is the thermostat on 1994 dodge caravan?
    follow the top radiator hose down to the engine,it will lead to a housing and in that housing is the thermostat,if you,ll drain some of the coolant out before you remove the housing it will not make such a big mess other wise anti freeze will come pouring out of it,the drain is in the bottom of the radiator,good luck with it.Where is the thermostat on 1994 dodge caravan?
    stick your head under the tires, than have your friend turn the truck on. than you should probly find it. works for me everytimeWhere is the thermostat on 1994 dodge caravan?
    Follow the big hose that comes out of the top of the radiator to where it goes into the motor, It should end with the hose attached to a short piece of metal pipe looking thing, Thats called the gooseneck. It should bolted to the engine block with 2 bolts, Thats where the thermostat is located, Take the bolts or nuts off very gingerly pry the housing off and you should see the thermostat. Pay attention how the thermostat is installed, should be spring side down, Take the old thermostat out and put a clean rag into the opening to prevent trash from getting inside the block and use a scrapper to remove the old gasket and make sure the ertire surroundings is clean, take the rag out of the opening and put the new thermostat in install new gasket and use silicone around the gooseneck and reinstall the gooseneck and be careful not to over tighten the huts/bolts as you could break the cast housing.Where is the thermostat on 1994 dodge caravan?
    Look for the big hose that goes from the radiator back to the engine. The thermostat should be where the hose meets the engine.

    It is fairly simple, (make sure the engine is not hot!!!!) take the hose off at the engine, be aware that some coolant will leak out. The thermostat will sit in a hole. I think that you can just pull it out and put the new one in. Either take a picture of how it sits there or write it down.

    Make sure to remove the old gasket which may require some scraping or using a wire brush. Make sure the gasket and thermostat are seated properly then put the hose back on. You may have lost a little coolant but don't worry about that until you make sure the connection isn't leaking by running the engine.

    After it is cooled down add enough coolant to replace what was lost.

    You didn't say which engine was in it.

    I have a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L that needs a new thermostat, and I don't know anyone that can help me, so I want to do it myself. Any help would be appreciated, I know nothing about trucks - thanks!How do I change the thermostat on a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L?
    If you follow the upper radiator hose to the engine, you will see where the hose connects to the thermostat housing, which is a flange held to the engine by two bolts. Soak these bolts with penetrating oil for a day or two before starting the job, just to be safe, they might be seized up. Have a large drain pan under the engine before you start, because engine coolant will spill. You will probably want to wear rubber gloves when doing this job, as coolant will be spilling and it's a little nasty.

    First, loosen radiator cap, then remove it. Unclamp the radiator hose from the thermostat housing, and then twist and pull off the hose. You might need channelock pliers to break the hose loose from the housing flange, many times it is stuck on there good. Be prepared for coolant to spill when the hose comes off, this is where your drain pan comes to the rescue. Now tie the loose end of the radiator hose out of the way, and then remove the two bolts holding the housing to the engine ( 9/16 or 14mm wrench size ).

    You will likely see ground wires attached to these bolts, if you break them, be sure to repair them afterwards, or you will have issues with the electrics of the vehicle.

    Once the bolts are out, then pull the housing off the engine, you may need to use a large screwdriver for leverage to pop it off. A little more coolant spills at this time.

    Remove thermostat from engine, and then clean all traces of old gasket material from the sealing surfaces of the thermostat housing and the engine. Use a razor scraper to do this, which can be bought very cheaply at an auto parts store. Use care when scraping, do not gouge or nick the metal. For stubborn gasket material, spray on some gasket remover spray and let it soak for a while. Use rags to clean and dry off the surfaces.

    Once that is done, place the thermostat on the engine with the spring end DOWN. Make sure the thermostat is positioned properly in the recessed area of the engine opening. Then apply the new gasket (which came with the new thermostat) onto the sealing area of the engine. Coat both sides of the gasket with a very thin layer of silicone sealer made for this, available at the auto parts store, before you install it. Then position the thermostat housing on top, and install the two bolts, snug them both down first, then tighten them both a little at a time. This is to ensure that the cover gets tightened down evenly to avoid leaks. Don't forget to put the ground wires back on to those bolts. Then re-clamp the hose on to the cover. Top up the cooling system slowly until it is full, use a 50/50 coolant-water mix, don't just add plain water because it will weaken the strength of your coolant. Then put the rad cap back on, making sure the arrow is pointing to the overflow hose (important).

    Start the engine, and let it run until it is at operating temperature. In the meantime, ensure that the thermostat cover is not leaking. When the upper radiator hose is hot, that means the engine is warmed up and that the thermostat is now open, allowing coolant to flow into the radiator.

    Shut the engine off, and let it cool off for about 20 minutes or so, then carefully remove rad cap, and top off radiator as required. Top off overflow bottle if required.

    Good luck with this! If you need any more info, feel free to ask!How do I change the thermostat on a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L?
    On a cold engine, loosen the radiator petcock at the bottom of the radiator. Allow about 2 quarts of fluid to drain into a pan or bucket, then close it. Follow the upper radiator hose to where it connects to the engine. This is the thermostat housing, it is held in place by two bolts, one is a stud with a ground wire on it attached with a nut. With the nut and two bolts removed, remove the housing. Inside you will see the thermostat, note how it is positioned so you don't put the new one in backwards. Remove all the old gasket material and assemble with a new gasket and tighten bolts securely, refill the radiator and run engine until the thermostat opens and top off the fluid reservoir to the proper level. Good LuckHow do I change the thermostat on a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L?
    You will have to consult with NASA, this is a real complicated problem! (not really). Ask at the parts store, read an open manual there. Do yourself a favor and don't use Dex-Cool coolant, Flush system out and use Mercedes Benz coolant. Read the GM litigation web-site about troubled GM owners!! The thermostat housing can usually be found at the opposite end of the upper radiator hose. The housing usually has 2 screws. Good Luck!!How do I change the thermostat on a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L?
    Easy easy. On top of the engine where the radiator hose comes out you need to remove the aluminum piece it is connected to. Two bolts 13 or 14mm I believe, are all that holds it on. You may have to pry a little to get it off. underneath of that there is the thermostat. You might be able to get away with re using the old gasket if you seal it up with some silicone.How do I change the thermostat on a 1992 Chevy Blazer S10 4.3L?

    How do I change the thermostat on my car?

    Is it something that I could do myself (I am pretty good with cars, as is my husband) or should I take it to the shop and have them do it?

    It's a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus if that mattersHow do I change the thermostat on my car?
    It depends on the car, but mine takes me about 2 minutes to do.

    Usually it's a really simple procedure.

    $150!!!!???? no way!

    Its easy enough, its in a housing where the hose from the radiator meets the engine block,

    Disconnect the hose from this housing. (coolant will piss out, never worry.)

    Undo the bolts (usually about 3) on the housing that hose came out of.

    It should come off/apart exposing the old thermostat, tap or twist it out.

    Flush the engine and radiator with water, and drain out as much as possible by removing as many hose connections as u can see.

    Replace new thermostat into housing, (pointy end toward engine) and re-assemble housing, making sure all mating faces are clean and smooth for a good seal!

    Re-connect all hoses.

    Replace new coolant mixture into the coolant tank, It will only let u put in about half, as the thermostat it cold/closed and it cant circulate.

    Run the engine, once the thermostat opens/warms, it will suddenly drag the coolant through the engine, top it up again and switch off when it gets too hot!!! repeat till the coolant is fully circulated and the level stabalises.

    Mine took about 6 litres, depends on the car tho...How do I change the thermostat on my car?
    Varies from car to car, but most have the thermostat in the top radiator hose housing on the cylinder head.

    To change it, you remove the housing, pull out the thermostat, clean out the inner housing, replace the thermostat using a new gasket or silicon sealer if you don't have a gasket, and replace the housing and top radiator hose.

    Not a big job. If you're unsure get a copy of the auto manual from your local library just read and confirm.

    Changing thermostat for Toyota Camry 2000?

    I have Engine check light ON, the error message is P0128.

    With reference to my post yesterday, i might have to change thermostat of my car. Now i have two questions



    1. How do i find out that Thermostat is not working ?



    2. Is it possible to replace thermostat on my own ?Changing thermostat for Toyota Camry 2000?
    1. Boil a pot of water on your stove, now drop the thermostat into that water and you should be able to see the thermostat open up. If the thermostat doesn't open than it is bad and needs to be replaced.



    2. Yes you can replace the thermostat on your own, it's really quite simple. Make sure when you buy a new thermostat that it comes with a seal because this eliminates the need to buy a separate gasket. Before installing a new thermostat, place the new thermostat in boiling water so it can open up for the first time. Sometimes if you don't do that than your car will overheat before the thermostat opens up for the first time. To locate where the thermostat is on your vehicle, follow the upper radiator hose to where it meets the engine. That is where the thermostat is located. You didn't mention what engine you have but you may need to remove something to gain better access. Now drain your coolant into a clean container because if your coolant is in good shape you can reuse it and you don't want other contaminants in your coolant. Now just remove the thermostat housing which usually just requires removing a couple bolts and pull the housing away from the engine. Remove the thermostat and clean the surfaces of the housing and the engine so you get proper seal. Install new thermostat in the same way it came out, DON'T INSTALL IT BACKWARDS!!! Now put everything back together and refill your cooling system with either new coolant or reuse your drained coolant if it is still good. Run your car for fifteen minutes, make sure it doesn't overheat, check for leaks and top off coolant as needed.



    Good Luck!Changing thermostat for Toyota Camry 2000?
    In reverse order, yes you can replace the thermostat yourself. Get yourself a repair manual for your vehicle and it'll walk you through it. It's not hard at all. As for testing the thermostat, there's a couple of ways to see if it's opening or not. First, take the cap off the radiator and start the car. Let it warm to operating temperature and then watch the coolant in the radiator. It it's moving then more than likely the thermostat is opening and doesn't need replacement. If you don't notice any movement of the coolant, you can remove the thermostat and put it in hot water. The thermostat body should have a temperature stamped into it and if you place it in water that temperature, you should be able to see it open.Changing thermostat for Toyota Camry 2000?
    A simple test to find out if the thermostat is opening or not is to heat up some water on the stove to about 180 degrees, and then place the thermostat into the water. If it is working properly, it will quickly open up.



    you have to drain some of the coolant.

    to locate your thermostat, look where the end of the top radiator hose leads to the engine,at the end of the hose is the thermostat housing, the thermostat is inside it....



    take out the thermostat housing you will find the thermostat.

    How do you change a thermostat on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?

    Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of, or do you just remove the hose, unbolt the old one, bolt on the new one and reattach the hose?How do you change a thermostat on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?
    thats pretty much all you do...just make sure you clean the area where the thermostat connects and make sure you use a new gasket or clean the old one goodHow do you change a thermostat on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?
    i owned cherokee for 10 years %26amp; due to engine switched thermostat TWICE EVERY YEAR - crazy, but true %26amp; ran better.. reason was so ran better in cold %26amp; then hot weather. Soooooo, from all that I can tell you problems I had. First the dude who mentioned about air is smoking crackk. Also I found that gaskets are more problem than they are worth. Just use very good high temp tube of gasket gunk - yaknow the stuff you squeeze from tube and spread like frosting. Now make sure you let that stuff dry way longer than recommended, like 12- 24 hours would be good ( better safe than sorry). To help keep the coolant away from area where you are trying to seal I advise take apart first then when going to install jack up front to make coolant flow back away from thermostat. Also could just soak up with towel until area is dry. Now here is biggest problem - so very very easy to over tighten %26amp; break metal (cast aluminum) housing or under tighten %26amp; leaks. Check for torque recommendation (library or parts store if you dont know) %26amp; slowly do each bolt as close to same time as possible (i.e. one turn on one bolt then one turn on other). Whatever the torque setting is do NOT go even one pound past that. better to be a couple below than over. You can usually rent or borrow torque wrenches at parts store. I also decided to just buy extra housing for a few bucks just in case %26amp; that way always had extra. Dont forget once ready to start er up, refill coolant, start engine, run heater for few seconds %26amp; cycle it on %26amp; off, then shut off engine %26amp; check level but make sure either engine cool or checking at coolant resevoir tank (the plastic clear one). Personally I just leave radiator cap off 1st time and not let engine get hot, but only do that if you know what you are doing as not exactly safest way. ummm, little tidbits, bolts are not easy to get to, coolant is poisonous to animals, i have yet to ever overtighten belt but easy to not get tight enough which means battery wont charge good %26amp; can ruin it, make sure metal surfaces are very clean before assembly, not bad idea to test new thermostat in hot water to make sure it moves at right temp (rare to be bad, but sucks if it is), and lastly good luckHow do you change a thermostat on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee?
    You will also need to bleed out the air that will be trapped in the cooling system or the vehicle will not work correctly..

    The car went from cold to overheating in two blocks.

    Shaggy's on the right track. You have an air pocket, and/or you're low on anti-freeze. That's the only way you could be overheating within 2 blocks. Even if the thermostat were welded shut it wouldn't do that. The lack of heat from the heater is another symptom that supports this.

    it should be fairly easy. follow the radiator hose the one on the top. once you found were it connects to the engine, there will be to bolts. undo those and there is your thermostat. you shouldn't need any special tools. make sure you use a new gasket and put the thermostat in there strait. be careful when putting the bolts back in the holes. make sure they thread easy so you don't cross thread. that could be a big problem. one more thing you need to do as soon as you take it apart is clean all the previous gasket off and make sure you are working with a flat surface. before you go and drive somewhere make sure the fluid levels are correct and no leaks.

    It is very basic, and yes, even you can do it ! Wait until after the engine has cooled. Toward the front of the engine,right on top,( in most cases) there is a big hose. It goes from the radiator to a metal thing that looks like a small softball. There are 2 bolts that hold it down. Unbolt them and the thermostat is right there for you to pull out and replace. Make sure it goes in right-side-up. Take carefull notice as to how it looks before you remove it. Make sure, also, that the gasket is still complete.

    your thermostat allows the engine to maintain it's operating temperature.

    If the thermostat is locked open (broken) the engine would have a hard time heating up. Your temperature gauge would stay in the %26quot;blue zone%26quot; and the heater/defroster would blow out cool to warm air.

    If the thermostat is locked closed (broken) the engine would overheat. Your termperature gauge would be in the red zone soon after getting on the highway. Your Heater would be producing lots of hot air.

    So if both your defrost and heater settings are producing just warm air and your temperature gauge stays in the cold/warm zone, it's probably your thermostat.

    If the defrost pours out hot air, but the heater does not (they use the same source for heat, the heater core) then you have a broken or damaged flap in the dash that is not allowing the hot air to go through the heater ducts.

    To replace your thermostat, go to your local automotive store and pick up a repair manual. It will walk you thru the steps to replace the thermostat. It is usually located in the top front of the engine, held on with two bolts. You may have to drain your radiator to make this repair. The antifreeze is resuable, so don't throw it away unless it's really cloudy, then recyle it.How hard is it to change the thermostat on your car?
    your thermostat has nothing to do with heated ventalation it mearly controls the flow of coolent from the radiotor to the block the problem you are stating is a heater core and its most probably blocked or just jacked up so to fix this you will have to take it out and either flush a stream of water or get a new one which might be cheap or most likely cost you an arm and a legHow hard is it to change the thermostat on your car?
    It's not hard, but the thermostat controls the temperature of the engine not the operation of the heater? Good Luck!!~:)=
