Where is the thermostat for a 1996 Chrysler Cirrus 2.5 located on engine?

The 1996 Chrysler Cirrus 2.5L doesn't have a thermostat in the traditional, easily accessible location you might find on some engines. The thermostat is integrated into the engine block itself. This means it's not a separate housing you can easily replace. You'll need to consult a repair manual specific to that year and engine to access and replace it. It's a more involved job requiring potentially draining coolant and possibly some engine disassembly.
