Heater Only Blows Hot When I Am Moving #358507 12/05/03 05:36 PM

Getting the Wheeling Fever
My heater just started doing this.
It does not seem to be putting out nearly as much heat and when I come to a stop, say at a traffic light or something, it starts blowing cold air.
Starts blowing hot again as soon as a start moving.
Engine does not appear to be running too hot or too cold.

What could it be?

Body Damage is Cool
Sounds like your heater core may be clogged. Or when was the last time you changed your water pump?

Yeah, I've done some searching on the site and found plenty of stuff on how to clean heater core so I guess I know what I'm doing this weekend... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Wish me luck!

How is your engine temp reading? Have you checked the thermostat? If it's not closing your engine temp may just be low.
