If you have the heater turned ON, YES it will help .... Didn't you watch Gary Busey in Cannonball run??
If you have the heater turned ON, YES it will help .... Didn't you watch Gary Busey in Cannonball run??someone on here said it lastnight saying that the heater core helps cool the coolant I could have got it wrong what he said I'll look it up but thank you again
I know I seen the movie I was born in 81 so I think that's when it came outIf you have the heater turned ON, YES it will help .... Didn't you watch Gary Busey in Cannonball run??
ok I misunderstood you guys know better then me,will it hurt the motor having the heater core bypassed for a long timeWell, yes that's how a heater core works but it is not enough to make a significant drop in engine temp.
I'm in Massachusetts I only drive it spring to fall and it's put awayNot at all. Look the coolant lines together and you can run indefinitely like that. Might be a tad chilly depending on your weather, or not.
I got another mess with my vacuum linesNot at all. Look the coolant lines together and you can run indefinitely like that. Might be a tad chilly depending on your weather, or not.
it's only at idle now car runs and drives great the rpms go up and down maybe a few hundred rpm but with my foot on the brake it's a automatic it wants to stallJust cap them all at the source. You should be able to cap the EGR and smog vac lines at the intake manifold and the car will run. If it still runs like crap your problem is elsewhere. Once you fix that you can reconnect all the vac lines you need after
not overheating just motor seemed really hot the temp gauge never went over half and I have a 180 thermostat I just pulled outSmoke test for vacuum leaks and I would do a compression test since you say you are randomly overheating.
I wish I had heat I don't think the ac works and your right I misquoted you I figured I didI did say that the heater core is an auxiliary heat exchanger
And I will stick with that
No it will not overheat without it and no you do not need it to prevent overheat
I said it helps to prevent overheat (extra coolant capacity and another heat exchanger)
You will be damn glad you have one net time it does overheat
You can turn the heat on high and maybe save the engine
I have ac it's not charged and I don't think it works can sat since 2014 till I got it in August but not rot only the hatch I might try to sell it I want a 5 speedA new core is only 25-75 bucks if you buy it right
Do you have ac and does it work?
