2004 Dodge Intrepid: How to replace Thermostat?

Where is thermostat located and how to replace it.

Its not a easy procedure to replace thermostat.

If you have a faulty thermostat, your engine will either overheat or not get hot enough.


The thermostat is located on the lower left side of the engine closer to the front of the engine.
To replace thermostat you will need to put it on a hoist and probably remove the engine mount and/or alternator to get to the thermostat housing.That's the only access to replace thermostat.

See the diagram shown below for thermostat location :----



This details will help.
Thanks.

2009 Kia Spectra: OBD Code P0128?

Its Emission related issue most possible part to be checked in this case is Thermostat.

See the detailed definition defined for this problem:-----

The P0128 is fairly straight forward, and the most common problem here will be a Thermostat that is stuck "open". An open stuck thermostat means an increase of the engine warm up time and can cause emission increase as well. To detect open stuck thermostat, the ECM checks measured coolant temperature as soon as calculated coolant temperature reaches threshold and sets DTC P0128 when measured coolant temperature is lower than threshold.

See the help diagram shown below:----

How to locate Thermostat on Any car model?

Thermostat allows coolant to circulate when the engine is warmed up and should be closed when the engine is cold so that the car can warm up faster. It's a fairly inexpensive part that's replaced easily, but when it fails, your car can overheat, causing costly engine damage.So don't ignore replacing thermostat,because if ignored then major engine repair/replacement is waiting for you in future.
Here is a simple way to find thermostat, this is on all vehicles that have a thermostat, not just cars....Locate the top or bottom hose on the radiator, follow the hose to the Engine/Motor there you will find a little housing, and under that housing is the thermostat.The thermostat is found at the end of the rad hose . Find the top rad hose and follow it to the engine .Their you will find a thermostat housing with the end of the hose attached .Its fitted by bolts on some models its just clamped to the body.
In most cases follow the top radiator hose and you see thermostat.

This basic details will help.Thanks.
