THe_DeTAiL3R Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 You could have just removed the throttlebody to avoid all the frustration of getting at those 2 bolts. Anyhow, glad to hear your car is running normal again Quote

Anyhow, glad to hear your car is running normal again 16. Grab 13mm socket, extension and 3/8" ratchet and remove the throttle body's top bolt17. Realize that the bottom bolt has more threads sticking out of the head and grab a 13mm wrench 18. Spend 10 minutes removing THAT bolt in the same fashion the bottom thermostat housing bolt was removed 19. Remove throttle body cable mount, and remove throttle body Quote
Brian P Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 son of a bitch, lookie there. All this after I just sealed the damn thing....LOL It works, too! Interestingly enough, I have a superstat in there that opens at 190 instead of my last one that opened at like 210. I guess it could be worse Quote

I guess it could be worse The Meijer one.... from what I could tell... was opening at like 240... seriously... My temp gauge was pointing straight up like 75% of the time. Quote
White93z34 Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 normally i'd yell at someone for buying a thermostat from meijers or an such store. but it was what 3am?? when we got it. who else is open at 3am. Quote
Brian P Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 http://www.meijer.com/ Yeah thanks smartass Get your in the same place as you get your T-stat? Quote
GP1138 Posted March 18, 2005 Author Report Posted March 18, 2005 Hell yeah! Great place to go play hide-and-seek at three in the morning! Quote
riceca Posted March 18, 2005 Report Posted March 18, 2005 I took off the throttle body, it's only like 4 bolts and then you got direct access. hmmm....Thought that sounded familiar Quote
