Heater Issues

[stealthy]

my gsr is not warming up like it should, and blows out "warm" air at best. it takes the car about 20 min to warm up, but even then it wont blow hot air. then the other day i noticed my temp gauge was all the way down like it wasnt even working, after warming up the car for 25 min and driving for 5.

i havent looked into anything yet, but does anyone have any suggestions? this sucks because its been really cold, not to mention defrosting doesnt work hardly

Check the thermostat?

thats what im assuming...but how do you check it?

put some cardboard in front of your rad to keep some of the freezing air off it

even when its not freezing, it still does this.

hmm, have you tried bleeding the system?

yeah try bleeding it see if it helps, maybe the thermostat is stuck open... or you're just not driving hard enough for the engine to reach op. temp
