Is it difficult to change the thermostat? Sometimes my temp gauge moves and gives me hot air. Sometimes it does not budge and gives me lukewarm air. The cold is coming to Michigan already! Could this be a sticky thermostat?

Thanks!

On a 2.2L it's quite easy. The hardest part will be bleeding out the air after changing it and replacing the coolant.

To make it a lot easier you can remove the alternator out of the way. The coolant neck below it requires removal of the two 10mm nuts. It just pulls out once you do and the thermostat will be reachable.

Make sure you drain the coolant first.
