Hi there! I have a 1994 celica ST. I put in a 3 core all alunimum radiator and my car started overheating. It was overheating from air being in the system. I blead it out (as far as i know) and my over heating went away. now i dont have any heat coming out of my heater. I only get warm air. my inlet hose going to the heater core is hot and my outlet hose coming from the heater core is warm but no where near hot much like the air coming out of my vents. I pulled off the in let hose and verified that the heater valve was working and it is. I took off the outlet hose and stuck my garden hose into the inlet side for the heater core and turned it on full blast, there was great water flow going through it. Then I checked the blender door by change the heat to cool very quickly and heard the blender door opening and closing. My coolant was topped off as well. The only thing i can think of is air being in the heater core. I jacked up the front of the car and let the air bleed out. I think this is the correct way to bleed out a system.

did you say you tested the thermostat and verified what temp it is opening at? Even if the radiator was oversized the temp of the water going through the motor, and the heater core should always be right around the temp the thermostat is set for.

Even if the radiator was oversized the temp of the water going through the motor, and the heater core should always be right around the temp the thermostat is set for. I think i solved the issue. Although it makes no sense as to why its working. I put compressed air through it and i looked into the bottle i had the inlet hose in and saw pretty much nothing. all clean an clear. So I replaced the thermostat. the old one didnt have a bleeder valve on it, and the gasket was large due to all of the heat getting to it over the years and it was very worn. i can take pictures if anyone wants to see.. It seems like the new thermostat fixed this issue but it makes no sense as to why this fixed it. cause even when the thermostat is closed the water is still circulating through the heater core. Im scratching my head with this one but at least its fixed :-P I will change the description to solved and i will buy a digital thermometer and measure the temperature coming out of my vents. maybe someone else can post thiers here if they have one? That way when i get mine i can compare the temperatures and see if its where it should be. This post has been edited by rapid36: Jan 13, 2015 - 10:09 PM |
