yo man check your heater core, the fan, and the cable for the door

a new thermostat wont make your heat hotter

it wont? not even if the old one was stuck open? of course it will.

did you bleed the air out of the system?

 

yes i bleed the air out, where is the cable for the door?

 

try bleeding it again, are u doing it with the engine off

 

yes i am doing it with the car off, and when you say bleed it, where should i bleed it from
thanks, jay

 

you have to burp the system

1. fill the coolant to the brim
2. start the car
3. bubbles should start forming in the coolant
4. the coolant level should drop, so add more coolant
5. It will smoke, its ok
6. just keep doing this until the coolant doesnt drop anymore

 

ok thanks

 

well i "blurped" the system and it is still not very warm. Where would the cable be for the door? thanks
