Q: Where is the thermostat located in a 1993 Pontiac sunbird? Thank you for you time.
My dad wanted to check my thermostat because my car was overheating, although he's never worked with a Pontiac. He was wondering where it would be located in this vehicle.
My car has 174000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
