i did a search on this forum, where is the thermostat located is it by the water pump by the timing chain cover or is it behind the upper radiator hose inlet ( this is going into the engine). I need to know cuz i brought my car from my brother and thier was a coolant leak coming from the area and i crawled under the car and seems he dropped it and its stuck in between the tranny and the engine under the car, and it is stuck, cant get it out. So im wondering if this car doesnt have a thermostat in it the computer is stuck in open loop, explaining why it runs like shit...
and it only revs to 4 grand still, he ran through a ditch after hitting a deer and the pass side is kinda dented, not to much damage, pretty fixable but might i need a new computer?? i checked all the wires routed under the radiator and they all seem to be ok no damage or anything..
what can i say i bought the car for 200 bucks i can afford to put a couple bucks into it.. And it only has 375,000 miles on it. A salesman owned it before him and was always on the road. car is hardly rusty, i mean here and there. If you dont believe me i can take a pic of the odometer LOL
thanks for the replys in advance any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
