Thermostat
#4
My engine temperature is at the correct temp (90 degrees C or 195F) but I don't get much heat either. I recently replaced the heater core when I did the Evaporator this past summer with a brass type core which is all the parts supplier had; no aluminum core available. However it is currently -10C (-23F) outside, -16C (-26F) with the windchill. Is it just too cold outside?

check that both heater hoses are hot, indicating hot water flow.
experiment with different heater settings. try Max AC, heater/foot, and defroster.
check your vac lines on passenger side of engine to firewall.
if no problems are visible, then there may be something wrong with the hot/cold control and/or the blend door under the dash.

Not to hyjack here, but since I did my plenum fix and replace the thermostat with the 180, my temps on the dash show half way between the 130 and 200 mark. Is that normal for a 180? With the stock thermostat it used to read at 198.
I am thinking since it is cold here I might as well put the stock back in. Then in the summer put the 180 in. I think that how it works.
