Hey guys i put a ls in and its taking like 20 min of freeway driving to get the car to start blowing warm air and temp gauge to get to normal what could be wrong?

 

thermostat??

 

check your coolant level..

 

doing THE TITLE IN ALL CAPS IS AGAINST THE RULES

 

how old is the coolant, sounds like either the system needs to be flushed or the thermostat went bad and stuck open.

 

umm its new coolant hence i just did the swap

Thermostat not sure cause would it ever warm up?

just crank up your compression </TD></TR></TABLE>

 

so i take it if a therm is stuck open the car will still heat up but take forever? I thought the only way a thermo can go bad is if the car is over heating ill check into this tomorow

<u>hence</u> check the coolant level again and make sure the cooling system is 100% bled.

 

Well i fixed the problem the dumb **** i bought the motor from did not even have a thermostat in the motor at all i was shocked to find that there was not one there!!!
So now the car heats up really quick thanks for the help guys spencer
