toyota camry 1996 V4 thermostat change.?

Question

Hello
I had overheating. I change two hoses form radiator and no licking form anywhere. Water and oil is great and they are not mix. I think next step belong thermostat or water pump.
Is that right or not? Is this easy to change thermostat?
Can you give me an idea of what the steps are to change this out?
It is a 1996 Toyota Camry and Four cylinders(LE)
Thanks so much.

Answer 1

Go find a radiator shop and ask them to check your radiator. Tell them you have overheating problem. NEVER repeat NEVER change any part until you know what is causing the problem.

Answer 2

you have an inline 4 not a v4 . But to answer your question, first check the radiator and condenser for trash or leaves that could be blocking air flow, then check condition of coolant, have you had a flush in the last 2 years? coolant breaks down over time and turn to acid and wont cool, it should be changed bi yearly. it most likley is clogged up radiator or heater core, take it to a shop and have it checked they prolly will replace the t-stat and flush out the old coolant and install an additive. How is the car running? sometimes when the car runs really lean it will get hot enough to overheat also.
