Beck/Arnley Engine Coolant Thermostat P/N:143-0957
Beck/Arnley 143-0689 thermostat for the 1989-1991 Hyundai Sonata 4-cylinder 2.4L, the 1990-1998 Sonata V6 3.0L, the 1992-1998 Sonata 4-cylinder 2.0L and other vehicles controls coolant flow so the engine reaches and holds its operating temperature. This Beck/Arnley thermostat, also called an engine coolant thermostat, is application specific.
A thermostat that sticks open can leave the engine slow to warm up, and one that sticks closed can let it run hot. Low coolant or a weak fan can look similar, so before replacing it, check the coolant level on a cool engine and look at the housing for leaks. Each engine takes one thermostat.
