definately change the thermostat and dont try to drive your car to go get it
PIMPIN AINT EASY
Intake would have nothing to do with this issue, I agree with everyone else. Get a new thermostat. My car is ready to go in 18 degree temp in 5 minutes and about 10 of constant driving to really get that nice burn your hand heat.
ok I will try to do that but . if I would it know how ? "Where's the thermostat" ? a newbie question thanx anyway
I did some research and I found these
now I wanna know where is located ??
its inside of the water inlet fitting. like where the lower radiator hose connects to the car.
i wouldn't bother buying a thermostat online. you can get a good one for cheap locally.
Finally If these is the one ?
thats how u do it.
I replaced the thermostat on my V6 and the new one didn't have a jiggle valve. Anybody know what its function is? The engine warms up fine, just like it always has.

I have a small survey question: how high is ur coolant temp. gauge do up to?
mine gauge needle never go cross the half, and I dont know if it's normal.
03 ES 4 cyclinder
03 ES I-4 stock
project done:
Self Tinted
Self tranny fluid changed
Self oil change
Next protject: Timing belt change
The thermostat is at the inlet, which is the lower hose. My old chevys had it at the top though, so it can be designed either way. Water pumps the same way in both designs.
My temp guage stays just barely short of center.
I have a little problem I did the installation and coolant flush now is warming too quick my gauge needle goes to the top Hot and the fan start to run maybe is because is new don't know
any advise :cry:
How fast does it get that hot?
Maybe your new thermostat is defective and stuck closed.
If you installed it backwards it may plug the inlet. The spring goes toward the engine.
That's all I can think of
did you double check everything to see if it was installed correctly? how about the coolant levels at both the overflow tank and radiator? did you bleed the coolant to make sure to get rid of any air pockets?
