Thermostat replacement on 97 Olds Cutlass

I need to replace the thermostat on my daughter's 97 Cutlass. I don't have any idea where the thermostat is in this car. Is there a website that might have a labeled engine diagram?

Re: Thermostat replacement on 97 Olds Cutlass

Is it a Cutlass or a Cutless Supreme?

What engine does it have.

Re: Thermostat replacement on 97 Olds Cutlass

Both engine options are V6's but the thermostats for both of them is in the same general area. Follow the upper radiator hose back and it ends at the thermostat housing. It's on the driver's side, below the intake manifold.

Re: Thermostat replacement on 97 Olds Cutlass

Where is the thermostat located? The top radiator hose connects to a metal pipe...the view of that part's connection to the engine block is blocked by other engine parts. Is the thermostat located at that connection? If so how is the thermostat exchange accomplished?
