ok everything but the tstat is changed out new. so if it still happens then ill know its the tstat. im gunna have to pay out my ass a shop to change it i cant believe any of u on here got that out. that was by far the hardest thing ive ever had to do and failed. there is no way to get to those bolts thats insane. i tried wrenches channel locks pliers sockets angled socket wrenches took heat shield off its physically impossible u have to take the intake, hoses, heatshield etc off to get that off im not that mechanically inclined that sux i wish i was im gunna get ass raped on that job.

lol.. use a ratchet and socket.. use a short extension if you have to.. its not impossible-
I certainly wouldnt take my car to a shop and have them change it out- the only thing ive taken my car to a shop for is to have the fuel filter changed out and that was 20 bucks and a 5 minute job.. I just didnt have the tools or ability to get the car up off the ground high enough

Its pretty easy to get to if you pull the throttle body off. I just did a coolant flush, and replaced the water pump and t stat today. Pretty easy job.

All you got to do is take your time so you don't mess anything up. Get a manual to help you out. I'm the kind of person that will not take my car to the shop unless I have to. Atleast if I am the one doing the work on it it is done right the first time.
