Default Heater issue for civic ep3 sir...

i have an issue with my civic recently when i warm up my car for 5-10min it blows cold air when i enter the car and i have it on defrost mode too. When i am stationary(not moving) it blows cold air and when i get going and start driving it blows hot air. What could the problem be?

my coolant level is a little over full
oil level is good

what could the problem be? i also notice my tempature gauge is below half by a lil bit

Dude, I'm gonna let you know before someone really gives you a nice welcome. Look around in the thread before you post. There are like 2 or 3 of the exact same thread open right now. I don't think the search buttonis working correctly right now so I understand that part but seriously.

When you say "warm up 5-10mins", I assume the vehicle is up to operating temperature(temp gauge around the middle)?

Your temp gauge should be below the half!

anyone find a solution to this?

Yes my temperature gauge is below

yes my heater valve works cause when i switch from hot to cold etc while under load it adjusts
Yes coolant is at max for overflow tank
My blower is fine it blows
my heater core is fine cause i get heat only underload
my water pump is fine because its not leaking and if it did i would overheat



my options are

Theromostat or Burp rad?(how do i do this?)
