I have the 3.1 engine, and I need to put in a new thermostat but can't find the housing. How do I get to it, and put the new thermostat in?

Follow the top radiator hose to the engine. Where the hose connects to the engine is the thermostat hosing. Drain the coolant down slightly and remove the two bolts that hold the thermostat housing in place. Gently remove the housing. Clean off the old gasket material from the manifold and housing, pull out the old thermostat, put the thermostat back in place, reinstall the new gasket, reinstall the housing being careful not to overtighten as it will break easily. Refill radiator and start the car. Make sure to top off the coolant level and check for leaks.
