1998 acura tl thermostat location

Where is the thermostat located on this vehicle? It is the 3.2 V6 by the way. I am totally new to the Acura world and not happy at this moment!!!

The thermostat housing is where the lower radiator hose goes into the engine.

How do you access the thermostat? The housing is right behind the throttle cable and there is absolutely NOOOO room in there. I see the bolts but I am scared to remove the cable bracket. Does it just unbolt and sit to the side then when done, bolt right back up no probs???

im assuming you have a 3.2? theres a ground wire on it, remove the 10mm bolt, put it aside. then use a 4in extension and take off the thermostat housing cover bolts, put them aside and take it out. you have to do some maneuvering, but it comes out without issue.
