my wifes 01 ep3 started acting goofy.....
im a bseries guy so gimme a break and help a nukka out.
i get in,start it and it idles at 15hundo for warmup like normal.
i get a phone call so i take it before i start driving.the call lasts a little longer than i expect so the car is almost at operating temp.i hang up.and just look over at the tach.as the needle is about to drop too 800rpm(whatever it is) it kinda hickups really quick.like a lumpy idle.up and down maybe 100rpm and back down to reg idle.this "hickup" happend with half a second so i payed it no mind.i turn the radio on.then the heat....no hot air just cold air.i say **** because its cold out and i start driving,then it warms up and blows hot air.i stop at a light and the hot air follows.stupid k's
time for a thermostat??
thanks guys

 

1. they didnt make ep3's in 2001.
2. What was the temp gauge reading in the car?

 

wtf im sorry,its an 03 i thinking the car we traded for it.the temp gauge reads just about half all the time,no change that i can notice

 

check ur coolant

 

will do,im guessing the same problem would be solved the same way on a series as opposed to the k?
the coolent system cant be that different
