My thermostat seems to be toasted.
The car would indicate that it's below the C line even after driving for 30 mins It would means that the car is running rich and have a high idle to protect the "cold" engine right? my quesiton is is there a guide to for thermostat replacement on the GT-four? I got the ST205 & 3SGTE repair manual supplement pdf is the thermostat the same as the "intake air temperature sensor"? Anyone have the parts number for the 3s-gte thermostat? I come from a pretty cold place so I don't think I'll need a TRD low temp thermostat. This post has been edited by Artega: Feb 23, 2010 - 3:20 PM |

hardly
and not when the temperature gauge shows C it does blow hot air after driving around for a while, then idle for 5 mins the gauge would show it's warming up and start blowing hot air then I would go driving and the gauge would show it's cooled down and no more heat. so I'm guessing the thermostat is stuck open. |

Yep, I think you're right on the money there about the thermostat being stuck open.

oops
I guess i need to buy the gasket as part of the replacement. Sounds like as part of the repair I'll need to drain and replace the radiator fluid? |

Yep and some will come out, a decent amount, it's just a good thing to go ahead and change out your fluid if it's been a while anyways. -------------------- She's Alive...... Again!!!
