well either you dont have enough coolant or the heater core is blocked are the most more common. its not a complex system so if you give more info im sure we will be able to give more of a hand. what other details can you give.

well aslong as the system is fill correctly the system shouldnt have any air and hot air would be there. but if all connections are good and functions correctly I would look at a blockage.

Is the motor getting up to temperature? Thermostat could be stuck open.

You could sit on the passenger side - it's always warm over the exhaust.

Seriously though, make sure all the air is out - your coolant level could look deceptively full. Run for a while with the cap off and fill accordingly.

well I seen people put the thermostat in backwards maybe you may have done that. how long did you bleed the system and how long did you drive the car after you bled it. cooling systems on these car are very easy system but its the small that that we over look. sorry if I am coming off like you dont know how to work on your car but I do dumb crap at times.

I've never really messed with the system before, but I'm assuming there is like a "door" that opens and shuts, and if the door is "open", while at the same time the blower-motor is running with hot-coolant passing through the heater-core, then of course hot-air would come out...

The coolant is obviously hot and circulating, the blower-fan is obviously working, so then it could be whatever mystery "door" there is that blocks hot air from coming out all the time? Then again, it sounds like that's what Ryan was kind of talking about... I have no idea.

This is the rod i was talking about, it controls the flap inside of the heater. By ajusting this rod id controls if it blows hot or cold air.
( ok its one of the two rods, try both, one does front vents i belive, other is for air mix.)


are u sure u were adjusting these??

Will came and picked up a new ( used obviously) logicon and heater core assembly from me tonight... hes gonna pull his dash and replace the entire unit. He explained to me that it appeared that the flap was working.. and he visually saw the rods move when changing settings on the logicon manually. I guess im a little confused on this one to... im thinking theres a hidden block in the system.... because no matter what, with as long as hes run the car idling to get it HOT.. its blowing no warm at all.. he said is really cold air 100% of the. time.... hmmm

thread jack!

How do I fix mine? I posted my issue in the Everett Boeing Employee's Section. But here's the rundown.

No air coming out.
I hear clicking.
Removed glove box, flap is opening and closing properly.

Relay?
