@richpin06a please can u tell me is the thermostat for a 1998 toyota corolla similular to that in the video do u know? thank you

[richpin06a]

@TheNismo400r The corolla is different.

Yes. Do you know what the large round object right behind the master cylinder is called ? I think I hear a faint hissing sound coming from right about where the hose connects. Is the air outgoing or incoming ?

[richpin06a]

@MrRaiders6769 That is the brake booster.A hissing sound is what we call a vacuum leak.

Just replaced the thermostat and took it for a test drive. Now between the new Therm. and TPS the car will blast like a bat out of hell !!! Now my ECT is holding at 199 instead of 150-160. It was stuck open. Still a bit boggie with A.C on. New fuel filter will be in tonight. I`ll change and keep ya posted. Thanks again Rich !!! You DA Man !!!!!!

@MrRaiders6769 Sounds like you are making some progress.

Great video...and I like your taste in music!

Not so easy with the engine inside the car!

I used a really long extension and a 3/8 universal joint to get the screw on the left out. Or it would be much easier to take the hose off below the lower radiator hose. But with very little hand room and stubborn hose below the thermostat, the universal joint worked nicely.

A wide enough socket will work in case the replacement thermostat doesn't come with the cardboard tube.

I did consider a vacuum leak. I tried your vacuum leak test video a while ago with no results. After looking closer It seems like it is coming from below and left of the master cylinder. Any other tips for a leak test ?
