To my knowledge, Oldmobile did not make a stock 3.4 liter engine. I'm guessing this question is about the 3.1 liter V6 engine. On the 3.1 Liter V6, finding the thermostat housing is simple. While standing at the front of the vehicle, look to the right side of the radiator to find a large hose connected to the radiator. It will lead you to the thermostat housing. The thermostat is located inside the metal pipe at the other end of the hose. Exact mounting details vary with model year. Generally, there are two bolts, one above and one below the housing that must be removed to access the thermostat. The heat shield for the exhaust crossover pipe partially blocks access to the bolt heads, so some tricky tools are needed to remove it. On mine, I removed the EGR sensor and heat shield so I could access the bolt heads. Once removed, the thermostat is very simple to replace.

Where is the thermostat on a 1992 olds achieva 2.3 l v4?

As with all engine configurations, the temperature is monitored from the readings of the water that is circulated within the engine block. A water pump circulates the water from the radiator to the engine and back to the radiator. The thermostat is always located in the water pump. Just look for the water pump and the thermostat component will be with it.

The area of a rectangle is 108cm2 The ratio of the width to the length is 34 Find the length and the width?

The ratio of width to length is 34, so W = 34*L The area of a rectangle is L * W, so using the ratio we get L * 34*L = 108 cm2 34*L2 = 108 L = SQRT (108/34) = 1.78 cm W = 60.6 cm
