Hi,
In your Model :-
The automotive thermostat is a temperature controlled on and off valve.
When the temperature rises to a predetermined temperature, the
thermostat opens up to allow the engine coolant to flow through the
cylinder block and the radiator. This flow is crucial to maintain
optimum operating temperature for fuel efficiency, enhanced
driveability, and engine protection. The coolant flow is reduced when
the engine is cold, and the flow is increased when the engine is hot.
Contrary to popular opinion, operating the vehicle without the
thermostat doesn't make the engine run cooler. It will actually run
hotter because there isn't a thermostat to slow the coolant flow. This
means the coolant doesn't stay in the radiator long enough to dissipate
its heat.
TO TEST THERMOSTAT
There are several ways to test the opening temperature of a thermostat.
One method does not require that the thermostat be removed from the engine.
The other way to test a thermostat is to remove it.
Positioning a thermostat into an engine.
TO REPLACE THERMOSTAT
CAUTION
If the radiator is filled to the
top with coolant and the engine is run without the radiator cap in
place, the coolant will expand and spill over as the engine warms up.
NOTE
When a paper gasket is used and the recess is in
the thermostat housing, it is a good practice to position the
thermostat into the recess and glue the gasket to hold it in place. If
it falls out of its groove during installation, the outlet housing can
be cracked or a coolant leak will result. Before tightening the water
outlet housing, try to rock it back and forth to be sure it is flush.
Housings are often cracked during this step.
Hope i helped you.
Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Locate the fuse pannel and check for blown fuse...If fuse not blown - check fan control relay for proper operation - If thats not the problem check for voltage at the switch.
SOURCE: Need a step by step instruction with picture if
it is threaded into the left side valve cover (front 1) you remove th hose and use a wrench. dont over tighten new part the valve cover is plastic.
The pcv valve will be right on top of the intake manifold center when you are standing
looking straight in at the engine as you raise the hood. Also, as you stand at the
front of the car looking in, follow the black hose that comes out of the front
valve cover, on the opposite side of the oil fill cap. That hose goes up to the pcv
valve. The valve is screwed into the intake manifold at that point.
very easy repair!
