It doesnt necisarily need a new heater core. I just replaced mine 4 months ago and I am having the same problem as this. The heater only gets warm doesnt even get close to being hot. I would also like to know whats causing this. I was thinking somewere along the lines of a thermostat

I'd think a stuck open thermostat could also cause this.

Drick · November 17th, 2007, 04:18 PM

I think that is my problem I need a new thermostat. Sometimes it will not open at all and the car will start to overheat other times it wont close and the car never even gets close to getting warm.

i just changed my thermostat about a year ago and then I had this problem not to mrntion i went with a 3 core radiator too what do yall think I might change thermostat first

Drick · November 17th, 2007, 07:42 PM

Im not sure this problem happens to me but I think its my thermostat. But since you changed yours a year ago its not bad. Did you put in the stock thermostat or one that kicks on at a lower temp. I belive they are supposed to have a 185*not postive on the temp but that sould be very close

notfastenuff · November 17th, 2007, 07:49 PM

not really sure to be honest I might change that first just cause it is easier. But the car always run on the A on normal on the gauge every now and then it gets up to the m but the heater is never hot

Same thing with mine. I would change the thermostat first then let us now how that turns out
