94 Probe Thermostat Location/Issues
My 1994 Ford Probe 2dr 2cly (Base) is running hot. I was told to remove the thermostat & run the car & if it overheats it may be a blown head gasket. I think the thermostat is located on the right next to the air maniford, coming from the top radiator hose, is this right?
Thanks for any help!!! |

Re: 94 Probe Thermostat Location/Issues
You are the best! Thank you so such for this vital info. I do have a crack in my coolant resorvoir- It sits in front of my left tire & will probably have to remove my tire to get at it to replace. This isn't a major issue at the time is it? I can top the radiator off if necessary I was told.
Thank you again for your help!!! |
