I did not want to threadjack the 'Engine underheating?' thread, so I am posting a new one.
I just noticed the same problem listed on the other thread with my ’00 Limited. The heater is just blowing luke warm air. The heater used to blow really hot air to the point that placing my hand near the vents would feel uncomfortably hot.
The engine temp gauge is about normal. The radiator and a cracked thermostat housing were replaced earlier this past summer. I have no coolant leak from the radiator, thermostat housing, or heater core that I can tell.
Yesterday, after a drive from work I checked the coolant level in the overflow tank. It was normal. When I opened the radiator cap I was expecting coolant to rush out but all I got was a small and brief ‘Pfffftttt’ and no coolant rushing. I poured some 50/50 coolant in thinking the radiator was low on coolant but it only took about 2 cups.
Next, I am going to check the temperature sender wire connection, try to burp out any trapped air, and flush the heater core with water and/or air, in that order. Any other ideas?
