Valve thingy

Sounds like an air pocket or clogged heater core. Fill it up with coolant and bleed the system. Once the engine reaches operating temperature, feel both the heater hoses. They should both feel hot. If they don't, you have a clogged heater core. In that case it's either replace or you could try flushing with water.

I drained what i could and refilled with fresh fluid. I did notice after starting it up that the hoses leading in and out of the core were significanly colder then the rest of the hoses. Like the ones leading the radiator to the engine.

>>16507860
Thats exactly the same procedure i followed. Pressure stayed the same. Nothing came out in the end.

>>16508324
did you take the other hose at the bottom off?

>>16508366
Yeah. I led it straight down to a oil catcher thing

>>16508374
have to driven it at the redline yet?

>>16508449
Yup. Its not a powerful motor so i need every rpm for highway pulls

Then its hopeless. Get a electric blanket.

Not really down to throw electricty around me like that.

Why don't you take out the valve and see if it works

>>16507814
does the valve turn on/off when you change the dial?
did you change the thermostat? and put it the right direction?

Sounds like you may need a new heater core. I just left work or I'd price you one through advance auto, u-pull-it would be cheaper though.

if both hoses are cold, then the sender hose might be clogged near the thermostat. run your hand down it and see where it finally gets hot. if it's right near the thermostat housing or water pump, disassemble and see what the issue is.

I wanted to hear peoples opinion befofe i start going deeper.
>>16508818
The valve does move positions i dont know if its broken internally yet.
Also its just the core im testing and nothings coming through that so somethings wrong there.
>>16508841
Thats what im trying to avoid
>>16508852
Ill drive the car first and check that out

>>16509164
did you try hooking up the water hose to the different sides of the heater core, pushing out any debris that might be in there?

>>16509189
I did that with an air hose. It had a pressure gauge so i know nothing came out.

>>16509200
use a water hose.

this.

Make sure both hoses going to the radiator are getting warm. If those check out, check input and output from the heater core. If one is warm and the other is basically cold, then you might have a clogged core.

I'd pull off the water valve and inspect it just so you can eliminate variables though.
