Recently I picked up a thermostat from Avanced auto for my 1994 Celica GT. Its to big to fit where the other one is so I was wondering what the part number would be for this part. They said thats its the only one kind that they had for my car and it doesnt look like the ones they have for the ST would fit either so I'm not sure what the problem is and I'm having a hard time finding the part number for the thermostat in my car so I soppose thats all I need if someone could help me out?

A pic would help - someone might have just done one recently and can ID it for you.

I already have a new one in my hand with that part number so I'm wondering whether it will work with the 4th gen 3S-GE engine!? i would imagine, since it is basicly the same as a 3rd gen 3sgTe, (water pump wise) that one for a 3rd gen would work. here, we use a landcruiser PT # 90916-03117 i cant say 100% it will work, since i've never personally done it, but that would be my guess.

azian is right, get genuine thermostat and gasket, same applies to radiator cap. auto parts store stuff is junk, do it once, do it right.
