This has just started happening recently. Even when I warm my car up, and the temp is around 210 degrees...the heat still comes out cold, sometimes warm at best. It seems to me that it's just started this recently. Even with the engine completely warmed up the heat isn't very hot. If I'm idling it gets cold, then I rev the engine and it gets a little warmer. Any ideas what's making my heat suck so much? I think it might be a hose, or maybe the heater core?

I had a simular prob like that. My problem was low antifreeze/water. You should also check your thermostat. I would check your coolant level first.1997 Camaro RS Convertible<br />White w/black top, factory chrome rims <p>Mods so far: Borla catback, Catco high flow cat,CAI,2 point STB,painted calipers and drums with caliper camaro decals,GTS blackout all the around,5% tinted windows all the way around,Streetglow red neon lights inside and under, raised camaro fill in decals on the rear, 30th anv decals, and a nice stereo system<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=275528\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/member_pages/view_page.pl?page_id=275528</a> -
Heater core unless you have a blockage in the heater core hoses. Best way is to feel them when the engine is warm. Start at one end of the hose and work towards the other end. If you come across a spot that feels cooler than the rest, your blockage is there. If you don't find a cool spot, the problem will likely be in the heater core. The level of fluid would not cause your problem since your engine does get nice and toasty but I would be worried about the quality of the antifreeze you are using. If it is old and has started to break down, crud can line the tubes in your heater core. This would insulate the heat and not allow the core to transfer the heat to the heater system.Comment

Went ahead and moved my starter wire from the back, to the front again since it had no effect on my drain on the battery. Also made me nervous driving...3 weeks ago -
Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
