Where is the thermostat on a 2002 Honda Passport 3.2. Its not the engine in the haynes manual. Only place i can see it is under the intake in the lower radiator steel pipe. Any help?

On a 2002 Honda Passport with a 3.2L engine, the thermostat is located in the lower radiator hose, which connects to the engine block. You’ll need to remove the lower radiator hose to access the thermostat, which is housed in the thermostat housing mounted on the engine. If it appears to be under the intake, it might be because the intake manifold covers part of the engine, but the thermostat itself is indeed in that lower hose area. Make sure to drain the coolant before removing the hose to avoid spills.
