they are the coil packs

follow the upper radiator hose to the engine. Thats where it is very hard to get to, and replace. You will need to remove some brackets and be flexable. good luck

the top radiator hose connects, at the engine, to the thermostat housing, remove it to access thermostat

The thermostat is located under a small housing, on the engine, and the upper radiator hose attaches to it. To gain access, on a cool engine, drain your coolant, then remove the upper radiator hose, then unbolt the thermostat housing, and remove the thermostat. To install, clean all mating surfaces, and install a new thermostat with a new gasket. Reconnect the upper radiator hose, and fill the engine back up with coolant.

Follow the top radiator hose to where it's attached to the engine. The thermostat sits under the housing that the hose is attached to. Remove the housing (no need to remove the hose) and you'll be able to replace the thermostat and its gasket.

Starter is on the bottom front of the engine. Round with thick red wire going to amoung a few others.. When you take it off you will be able to see the flywheel..

fallow the upper radiator hose to the engine that is the thermostat housing. If I remember that one is not real fun to do. I think a shop would charge about 1.5 hours to do it.

follow the top radiator hose to the engine and that should be where the thermostat is located

located in air box beather box for intake.
