| blowing luke warm air when the car is warm, car takes a long ass time to heat up roughly 10-15minutes of driving, and even longer as the temperature drops, and when the car is warm on a hot day and I've been doing alot of driving all it does is blow hot air. Any ideas what it might be? Once the snow lets up I can prolly change the thermostat, but I have this gut feeliing that my heater core is blocked up. any ideas as to what it might be? |

your heater core would have to be stuck open for you to take a long time to heat up.
my money is on the thermostat being dead:) |

| Ya the thermostat is forsure slow but while your replacing that pop off the hoses to the heater core and run a garden hose to it and flush it out. :beer: |

| check your manual, and then make sure the flap allowing the hot air to run over your heater core is open... sometimes they stick, so only a bit of air gets heated up, hence the luke-warm-ness |

| soulds like the heater core could be plugged, ur thermostat could be held open, but that will only cause the long warm up time. If the heater constantly blow warm air even when car is hot, its the heater core. |

Check your coolant level too. I had a similar problem last year with my CRX. Even after driving for 10-20 mins, the heat wasnt even really noticable coming from the vents.
