1990 240 sx, ka24e, where is the thermostat located? Also, how does the fan clutch work? Is it supposed to be able to be stopped by hand at operating temp and running at idle? Car is running a little warmer than normal and thought it might be the fan clutch as it seems to not be turning very fast at idle,and I can grab the fan with a rag while the engine is running and stop the fan; and am going to replace the thermostat also, when i find it, lol. thanks for any help, buddy

nico search is out of commission.

some people are not auto savy as others. Give them a break, watch your attitude.

Thanks.
