Howdy all,
I got a '94 PGT in Rio Red (originally), and picked up this car ante-xmas last year(just before Christmas, I LOVE Christmas) for a cheap price...$700 bones..at an auction...then I put $1200 just to get it to smog and dmv stuff...catalytic was gone...O2 sensors (both) GONE, EGR valve...GONE, thermostat was CHEWED UP (It looked like someone used it as a filler plug, there was no spring...it was ODD!). My PGT PASSED Cali EMISSIONS to Jan 2015...YAY!...BUT, I cannot drive it because she OVERHEATS...So, I named her Rita {(was just thinking about the club in Tijuana Rio Rita, and it was ALWAYS hot in there..)(And she's RED)}.
My question is, "Where is the theromstat on a 94 PGT? AND, what does it take to GET to it? I've heard ("You gotta take off the intake maniford, and remove the distributor so that you can gain access to that $15 part.) So I am calling BULL$HIT).
The reasoning is that my mechanic who fixed my smog dilemmas does not remember the PGT solution...He is TRULY busy, and he replaced the thermostat.
I know the thermo is NOT faulty...but Where Is It?
