Thermomstat location, 97 Brighton Wagon, 2.2l

[kaplan3jiim]

The thermostat seems to have expired on my 97 Brighton Wagon with a
2.2l engine. Car takes much longer to warm up in the winter then it used to. For now, cardboard is the solution, but would like to replace it,

A quick exam of the radiator and it's unclear to me exactly where it might be, unless it's part of the stuff on the upper left of the radiator (Facing the car). Just wondering where it is and how easy it is to remove for someone who doesn't normally work on cars. Have changed thermomstats on older cars long ago.

TIA
Jim

Should find it where the bottom hose connects to the engine.

LOL! Yeah, that took me a while, too! IIRC, I actually had to buy a repair manual to figure it out!
