I know this doesnt answer your question but what mixture of coolant 2 water are you running percentage wise ?

blow dryer....lol

iunno im stupid, dont listen to me unless stated other wise, i would try running the car, ummm below 10...I THINK you should be running no mix at all or 90/10 mix (radi fluid/water)

 

If it is -10 and you had mostly water you were asking for trouble

 

If you have a radient space heater, then i would jack the car up slightly and try to de-thaw that way. There should be two hoses that are on your firewall coming from radiator. these feed the heater core. take one off and flush with water hose. If you do not have a clog here then the problem is in the heater valve. the valve shoul be located under the dash. locate and make sure iit is not stuck in the cold posistion. hope this helps

 

check heater valve and it moves. i think it just the fact that it was mostly water and it's been below 0 the last few days

 

It was -10 here about a week ago, I warmed my car for a hour before leaving.... still no heat when i left let me add

 

how long till you had heat?

 

also once get unthawed to make sure there no massive air bubbles...

 

For one get a coolant tester and check your coolant or....just drain your coolant (plug on the bottom of radiator) and fill it with new coolant. Now Ive ran into some serious cooling problems after my swap and ive bleed my coolant system a shitload of times (nipple on t stat housing). after that if u still have no heat check your heater valve. its the black thing iwth the little **** that turns. If you experiment with that and still nothing I would try disconnecting the hoses and using a water hose to blow out your heater core because Ive replaced a heater core in an ef and its a BITCH.

I didnt get any all the way till i got to work..

 

well i found out that the hose coming from the inside the car to the block is a little froozen but i let the car run for like 45 mins and then drove it around the block with out over heating so now i just have to hope nuthing crack under the dash.

 

my DX does not heat up if its lower than about 20 degrees F, unless i drive it for about 30 mins. my SI heats up to about the quarter way mark lower than 20. my suggestion is to cover half your radiator with a peice of cardboard and some tie straps until it warms up outside.. the ef radiator, in my opinion, is grossly over engineered for hot conditions, so when its really cold, the car just doesnt heat up. good luck staying warm.

i just noticed you were running only water.. get some antifreeze in it as soon as possible.

 

I think its pretty obvious the problem. You were running the wrong mixture and your coolant froze up in some spots and stopped waterflow. Your lucky you didn't crack the block or something. Flush it all out, park it in a heated garage or something, let it thaw out and then put the right mixture in it.

 

arite i'll try to put a pieace of carboard in front of the raditor

 

gf got heat yah!!!!!!!! she took a coupel of banket put thenm on the hodd and let the car idle for about 30 mins or so and now there's heat yeahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ok so after letting the car idle and get heat in the car my gf and i go for a drive we drive maybe 2 hours and it start to over heat?? i bought a water pump hopefully this will help any other suggestions?

 

bleed your coolant, I told u that

 

i did twice
