89 KA24e. My car's been overheating recently and I believe it's because the thermostat is stuck in the closed position. I just had my water pump replaced about 1 month ago so it can't be due to that. I spent some time on it this morning but I'm having trouble locating the thermostat housing. I've removed both of the inlet and outlet hoses and I still can't find it. Someone please tell me exactly where I can find it. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks guys.

Nevermind...I figured it out. Everything is cool now, but thanks anyways.

directly under the power steering pump. Take off the belt and you can reach the 3 bolts with a socket and small extension. There are holes in the power steering pump pulley that allow access to them.
