as well...coolant system problem
the engine will come up to operating temp, but no heat will come out of the heater
is it the thermostat? stuck open, stuck closed?
we cant seem to get the motor to take coolant in either?
i dont know how to fill the system
i do th4e following
fill resevoir, open radcap, run with heater on high temp
and nothing happens??
top hose gets warm, not bottom one!

Re: as well...coolant system problem (topher)
do you pour coolant into the radiator? or just the resevoir tank?
did you connect the heater hoses to the right bits?
did the heater cable get re-attached to the heater valve?

Re: as well...coolant system problem (Gasoline Fumes)
Thermostat won't effect heat.
Yes it does. Why do you think your heat doesnt work until your car is warmed up? It sounds like your thermostat is stuck open, making the engine run cold, and not allowing the car to warm up, thus the heat now working properly. I hope this helps!

Re: as well...coolant system problem (iceburgslim)
he didn't say his engine was running cold..
he said that it DID come up to temperature but the heater won't blow hot air.
You might want to look at your heating system and less at your cooling system..
If my engine is too hot/cold I look at the cooling system, if my heater or a/c don't work then I look at them components. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
But, hey you do what you got to do!

Re: as well...coolant system problem (rice_classic)
Yes Rice_Classic you are right, I must have missed that important bit of info. After seeing that, I would agree it is a heating system problem. Does you temperature control **** turn all the way? If so, does it feel normal when you turn it? Could be you temperature contol cable if it won't quite turn all the way, or it turns too freely. Also may be your heater blower motor.......so those are some things you can check. Later!
