The thermostat is located in the thermostat housing, on the right hand side of the engine. Remember this is FWD configuration so think of it as being mounted on the "rear" of the engine in terms of normal V6, V8, L6, etc.

Trace the radiator hose (right side of radiator as you are looking from the front of the engine) and you will find it leads to the "water outlet" on the thermostat housing. There are a total of 4 hoses attached to the thermostat housing. It is a black plastic (OEM) housing held onto the engine by 3 bolts.
