I have a 92 Integra with about a 110 000 miles on it. Well ever since winter hit my car has had a few problems warming up properly, the needle doesn't make it to the 1/2 mark. Anyhow at first I thought it was the thermostat, which I replaced the other day. After I did that the car warmed up like a champ and the heat comming from the vents was great. Now a few days later the same problem is happening, the needle won't make it to the 1/2 way mark and the vent air is cool. I don't know what to do next? Anybody have any idea's? I maintain my car very well, the coolant was replaced a few months ago and the radiator is new and so is the thermostat.

Anyhow if anyone here has an ideas about what I can do that would be very helpful

Thanks a bunch

You're in Canada, I bet its kinda cold up there... I'd suggest checking your thermostat, but you already did that. Make sure you bled all the air out. I usually bleed again the day after, & that gets a few more air bubbles.

Its normal to take longer to warm up when its really cold out. Mine does that too. How far do you drive? At -10C mine takes maybe 10 minutes to warm up, when its been parked in a +5C garage. Maybe put a piece of cardboard to block air from maybe 1/3 of your radiator. Then keep watching your temperature gauge in case you blocked too much. Don't forget to take it out in spring .
