  • Remove the bolts that hold the thermostat housing onto the intake manifold of the MR2 with an adjustable wrench and pull up on the thermostat housing to remove it from the intake. The housing is still connected to the hose. Lift the thermostat housing and the hose up to drain the antifreeze back into the radiator.
  • 2 Remove the old thermostat from the hole inside of the intake manifold and replace it with a new one. Pull the thermostat gasket off of the top of the intake manifold and wipe the manifold clean with a towel.
  • 3 Place a bead of RTV gasket maker around the bottom edge of the thermostat housing and allow it to dry for 15 minutes. Place the thermostat housing back onto the intake manifold and bolt the housing back into place. Allow 15 more minutes of drying time and slightly tighten the bolts again. This will form a solid seal between the intake manifold and the thermostat housing.

    Themostat

    It's inside the timing cover. Change the housing (with sensor) when you change thermostat.

    Call for heat at themostat sometimes it blows hot sometimes it does not blower works fine just heat is intermittent

    check your coolant level first, if it's within the marks then you need the thermostat replaced.

    Drain the radiator, follow the top radiator hose to the engine, it is connected to the thermostat housing. Loosen and remove the two bolts, lift the housing and remove thermostat, make sure the new thermostat goes back in the exact same way, tighten bolts, make sure pepcock is closed on radiator, refill radiator, start engine, run heater on full blast, add coolant as needed.

    It is over heating and i can't find the temperatre gauge under the hood...

    first of all check the radiator for leak or blockage. make sure the coolant is fresh. follow th eupper radiator hosr to the emgine block. there should be 3 bolts attached the themostat housing. take the themostat out and put it with hot water, maks sure the opens. the temperture sending unit should be directly under the themostat. msot likely the themostat is cause or the problem. unless the temperture gage is not reading correctly.
