I have a 2000, alero....the temp gauge reads midway all the time except when i'm in traffic it tends to go a lil over....i go to change the thermo and come to find out there isnt any...how is this possible?!?!...I also bought a brandnew thermo and tried to put it in but it wont fit....any guesses????

Remember that the thermostat's job is to stay closed until theengine is warm....in other words, it makes the engine warm up faster. The engine will still warm up without a thermostat. Obviously,the problem issomewhere else in the system.
I'd try getting a power flush of the system. In particular, the radiator. And I'm talking professional. Not that Prestone "flush in a can" stuff.
