Need some advice...

Ok i just changed the themostat, most of the coolant pipes. When i start the car and let it warm up it just doesnt feel like it blows super hot air? Is there any suggestions on what causes this? It blows warm but not what i think i remember before.

let me know

Are you referring to the heater not working as well as before?

Now there are many possibilities here, it can be because your blend door isnt moving enough, some crap got caught and not letting a half decent amout of coolant flow to heater core, partially clogged heater core, (but this usually gets warm soon enough...) lower temperature thermostat rating? and finally air in the system, now I do not know if the fd has any type of self bleeding system, or just leave rad cap off and run a little then just top off, but its a possibility none the less. (another possiblilty is some hoses reversed, i am not sure about rotories, but most cars, thats about all that could of happened. try, leaving it in cold position, drive around for a bit, and then turn it to hot when vehicle is at normal operating temp, and see if it gets super hot within a minute or so (ofcourse while you are still driving.)

I did a write up a while back about flushing your heater core, when mine was TOTALLY blocked following a block-seal treatment. My heater is 100% now, it will boil your shoe soles....lol!
