The thermostat is located right on the bottom of the water pump on your car. If you follow your lower rad hose down to the water pump it will terminate at a black cover, this is wheere the thermostat is. You will also notice that your power steering pump is mounted right under this so you will have to drop it but it isn't too hard of a job. There are a couple of bolts for the adjustment hidden on the rear above the support bracket but it shouldn't be too hard to get out of the way. Count on draining all of the coolant as this is pretty much the lowest point in the cooling system.

 

Cheers, Dennis
