Here's an article that may be helpful. Not sure of the bolt size, I'd just put a few sockets on and see what fits best. https://itstillruns.com/instructions-replace-thermostat-dodge-stratus-6720842.html
i hope this helps for the water pump. The thermostat is located at top of engine simply follow upper hose to engine and remove housing and replace thermostat.
It sounds like a possible "sticking" thermostat.
I'd maybe flush the system and replace the thermostat just to be safe.
The cost of a gallon of antifreeze, a new thermostat, and some blue silicone gasket maker is a whole lot cheaper than replacing parts of an engine that overheats and warps...
the coolant temp sensor is located rite close to where the thermostat is it is a little unit that bolts in to the block it will have an 1 or 2 wire electrical feed to it will b the only wire close to the thermostat take off plug the get a socket and take it out and replace yup
i am not 100% sure but, some thermostats are inhose and most are in the engine block near the water pump. also it could be a goose neck with 2 bolts..if in hose it will be the upper hose where it comes out of the block..good luck... let me know what you find. i like feedback....
If it's a chrysler engine the thermostat is located just below radiator cap. If mitsubishi diamond star engine it's located on the cylinder head , beside the air cleaner housing
The coolant thermostat needs replaced or you need a coolant flush. Heater cores (in the dashboard) often clog and stop warm coolant from circulating into the heater. A coolant flush would cure this. Flushes usually run from 70 to 90 dollars to have done at a service shop.
Sounds like you may have a thermostat that is failing or your engine may have had a temporary vapor lock. First of all check your coolant level if that seems fine replace your thermostat. As far as being on high until you shut your heater off is probably just coincidence because when your heater is on it is helping to dissipate the heat from your coolant system.
