Well i have a 1996 Honda Civic Dx and i have no heat from heater.I flushed the heater core today over and over until it was clear water, but it still does not work...Any ideas?

is the engine getting up to temp? What does the temp gauge read? does the radiator fan come on after idling for a bit?

Also why clear water? Ok while chasing cooling problems that require parts changes, but not good for the long term health of the cooling system.

If the engine stays on the colder side the thermostat is stuck open. Replace that, bleed the coolant and enjoy the heat again

i changed the thermostat a few days ago, and i flushed the heater core tell the water i was putting it came out clear. I have little heat now but hardly any

Burp the air bubbles in the system. Also make sure you dont have a blocked radiator or a bad new thermostat (Non-honda branded ones can fail out of the box too)

i got a fail safe thermostat so if it fails it stays open

look up heater core replacement.
It might seem a bit intimidating but its not really.
Just time consuming.

Stuck open wont let any heat into the core. (Mine was stuck open when it failed, so I had literally no heat until I took the time to address it)
