No heat and car has an idle. Replaced the thermostat already and still no heat w/ idle. Any suggestions?

Try bleeding the coolant system

I did that when I replaced the thermostat. Completely drained the coolant and added new coolant.

So you bled the cooling system? Draining it and filling it up does not mean you bled the cooling system.

My bad, I bled the cooling system as well. I think it might be the sensor but not sure. Check engine #20.

Not sure I understand, "No heat and car has an idle", what do you mean car has no heat, and what does, "car has an idle" mean.

Are you talking about engine temp. or cabine heat? 94

No heat as in when I turn the heater on, it's just blowing cool air even if the car has been running for awhile. As for the idle, it'll idle from 1000 to 1500.

I went ahead and reset the ECU and now there's no check engine like. Not sure what and why it was throwing out that code.

Check the heater control valve... http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...y5=WATER+VALVE #2, it is not uncommon for the valve or the control cable to them going bad.

The other possibility is you have an "airlock", [air in the cooling system. 94

How would I go about in checking the valve? Would that have to be taken to a shop?

Are both your heater hoses hot? If so you may have an issue inside with the blend doors
If one is hot and the other not it could be your heater core blocked or your heater control valve is stuck closed.
How did you bleed the cooling system?

You should be able to see the lever move as the temp. control is moved from hot to cold, also when temp. control is on hot the hose on both sides of the valve will be hot, [assuming engine temp. is up].

You can also just remove the valve and just eyeball it to see if it opens and closes when you move the lever.94
