Default My check engine light came on Tuesday due to the thermostat being stuck open.

They replaced the thermostat yesterday. I drove it for about 150 miles with the light on. The service guy said it should be OK as long as the light was not flashing.

I did not notice the warm up taking any longer due to the bad thermostat. But then again I was not really paying attention.

Does anyone know where the thermostat is? I cannot even tell that they touched anything under the hood.

Thanks
