Hey guys I just replaced my heater control valve in my 94 cause it was leaking. So that required me removing the heater core hoses front the control valve. Now when I let it run it doesn't get fully to temp and the heat doesn't work all that well. I tried burping it for a minute but i don't have my non spill funnel deal with me, it's in my box at work. Anyone have any idea what it could be? Any information is greatly appreciated. In the middle of trying to figure out this issue
 






Sounds like you've got air in the system.

Jack up the front so the radiator cap is the highest point of the car. Run it till the thermostat opens with the heater on full hot and the radiator cap off.

Squeeze the upper radiator hose to help burp the air out.
 






Yep that's what I did. Ended up working the air out last night, now she's all fixed!
