Hey guys.

I need to replace the thermostat on a 98 protege but i need some help. Anyone know how/ can offer a place to find out more?

Thanks.

The thermostat is located on the top right side of the engine as you look at it from in front of the car (Drivers side). The housing (gooseneck) is a little less rounded than a lot of vehicles, so it's not completely obvious.
Instructions with pictures are at the sight below. It's not for a Mazda, but it's close enough to tell what to do.
