this engine runs a unique thermostat. too. so if that was wrong.....
many stores sell you the wrong stat. the best way to get the correct one is to buy and Esteem 1.8L stat, if they dont know what 1.8L means , RUN !
see some choices here, for engine code 2, (VIN) buy a thermostat that matches ENGINE, 2 not 0.

Here it is , the very unique system (unlike any G16) note how the flow is backwards from G16 engine, making a G16 thermostat useless.... and many stores sell the wrong stat, show me the makers partnumber and i can look it up, easy.
