Thermostat?

The issue has been resolved. When the old thermostat is removed this causes the antifreeze to drain out of the heater core, causing an air bubble. When the system is resealed the thermostat must get hot and open to force the air bubble out. By opening the air bleeder valve, located at the point were the top radiator hose comes out of the head, (looks like a bolt head with a hole on top - 10mm) you will bleed off the trapped air. Just run the engine, get it hot and open that valve. When the air is gone the temp gauge will drop to a normal operating temp -(just under half way on the temp gauge).

Just changed the thermostat and filled the coolant and still have cold air blowing out what else could it be

I had a new alternator installed on my car. A day or two later, my car wouldn't start. I thought that it was just too cold (being in Michigan) for the car to start. After about 20 minutes of trying to jump it with the wife's car, it finally started, though it was kind of rough and smelled a bit. On the way home from work the next day, I noticed an abnormal amount of white exhaust. About 2 minutes later, the tempurature went all the way red (although there was NO heat coming from the vent) and it was sputtering. I had to drive home with no radiator cap and stopping every minute to add water. My brother in law said with that much smoke, it had to be the head gasket. But a few guys from work said that it was the thermostat. Which is it and where is the thermostat located?

I have been looking at all kinds of autoshops and all of them have the wrong water outlet, im thinking the engine was switched and am wondering how to find out what part number I need

Where is the thermostat located on an 1987 Honda Civic?

I was going to replace the thermostat on my Honda but when I took the thermostat housing off there was no thermostat but the thermostat that I bought won't fit It is almost like I am missing something on the engine for where the thermostat is suppose to go. Can you tell me where the thermostat is suppose to go on a 1.5 engine.
Thanks Nate

1997 Honda Civic Ferio 1500cc CVT mieleage:85000 Km. The normal temperature of my car is in the middle of the gauge. When I use the air-condition system the temperature rises a bit higher (bout 3/4 of the gauge). My overflow tank starts to overflow. The radiator is full of dirt. Also when my car is cold and idle, the water in the radiator is foaming at the top. My mechanic told me that it may be mixing water with oil from the gascet. Is that right?Also my car's heater don't warm up quicly. If I drain the water and clean up the whole system, and replacing the thermostat will be ok?
