midnight_scion · 03-09-2011, 05:38 PM

ok so i turn on my car let it run an turn on the heater an it only blows out cold?? if i hit the gas then heat comes out... but no matter how much i warm up the car or drive it the only time heat comes out is when i press on the gas. can anyone help me please sucks to have to sit there pressing gas while im waiting at a red light because im cold, an im just wasting gas. it Ive been dealing with it but with gas on the rise its time for some answers and a fix.

most likely, your thermostat is blown

you think thats all it is?? hope its that easy just change it out would be a big relief. but also a kick in the a** cause i should of done it earlier rather then putting up with it, is there anyway to find out if it is that other wise its worth a shot.

not really.
check if you have enough coolant, if you do, you're looking at either taking it apart or just switching it out.

There maybe an air pocket in the cooling system. The bleeder is next and facing the car battery, is a white butterfly thing you see attach to the radiator. Turn on your car, open the bleeder and pour coolant in the rdiator, when you start to see constant liquid to come out close the bleeder, close the radiator cap and you're done. If that doesn't work then switch the thermostat.

^^ yeah flush your readiator. make sure to get the toyota coolant( pink) its $20 and get two gallon. get a radiator flush and clean your radiator.
