Help.. Where is the Thermostat? 1997

[phoenix1055]

OK folks.

Feeling a little dumb here.

Where the heck is the thermostat on a 97 cavalier?

Any pic available online?

Anyone good at explaining where it is?

Thanks.

On most cars it's just inside a metal housing that is usually connected to the main coolant line coming out of the radiator.

I love having access to full diagrams like that!

Hey.. That IS great.

Any chance you have the legend that tells you what everything else is by number?

That way I can REALLY get myself into trouble changing out the water pump too.

#31 & #32... me thinks.

[phoenix1055]

Yep.. I was thinkin 31 and 32 myself.

Would love to have the legend that ID's the numbers that goes with that pic... Must be from the factory service manual is my guess
