OK as title said i just changed mt thermostat in my EL 6cyl Wagon and now the car is missing and running rough. Is this something to do with the thermostat or is it just a coincidence. It has got me buggered. I am thinking coil but i cant see how it would have anything to do with changing the thermostat. Any help would be great. Thanks

Just did a service -New oil -Oil Filter -Air Filter - New thermostat When i drive my car, it would be fine on take off, but when i pressed the accelrator that little bit more, it would missfire, cough and loose power emensly... I gave it a day of driving around now its fine.. How long has this been happeneing? ** Also checke your plugs and leads Hope this helps - Ash

when you remove the top thermostat housing, the coolant you spill has probably fallen directly onto the dizzy and found a way inside
