What It Helps Address
- Engine running hotter than expected due to a worn thermostat
- Slow coolant temperature response after warm-up
- Temperature fluctuation in the cooling system
- Service replacement for a thermostat that no longer opens at the correct temperature
- Cooling-system maintenance on Honda Civic, Honda Accord, and Acura Integra applications
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the vehicle’s thermostat specification before installation, especially on Honda Civic, Honda Accord, and Acura Integra applications where multiple temperature options may exist. Inspect the sealing surface, confirm bypass dimensions, and replace the thermostat only with the correct orientation for the housing design. The jiggle pin weep hole should be positioned to help purge trapped air during filling.
No gasket or seal is included, and no installation tool is included. Use the correct sealing component for the housing and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s coolant fill and bleed procedure after installation.
