Default Heater

Everytime I turn on my heater it only works blowing hot air when im driving, but when I stop like at a stop light it starts blowing cold air until I go again. Anyone else with this problem?

I have the EXACT problem. I have no idea what it it. It seems to be related to engine RPM. When you stomp on it, the heat comes on. If you let it idle, it goes almost cold.

After 10-15 minutes of driving, it seems okay and returns to normal operation.

I think last time it was a cooling problem where you need to bleed your cooling system.

Just helping the people. I would think this would be a repeatable problem, so why not just bring it to the dealer.

do you have the AC light on or do you press it off?

keep it on and it stays hot all the time..

atleast from my experience...

Darn, tried pressing that valve (I'm assuming a green valve cap with 1psi on it) but nothing... no coolant, no air, nothing... anyone else tried this?

Turns out that was not the valve in question. Since I could not find given valve, I simply opened radiator cap before I started the car (it was COLD). There was a bubble of air, and then some coolant. I put the cap back on and tested the car and it seems to work better now. Still has a small amount of air somewhere, so I'll probably repeat the process later.

DISCLAIMER: Do not open radiator cap if car is running, or hot.

Really?? Keeping the AC light on will stabilize the heating element? WoW learn something new all the time. Seeing that the AC light comes on automatically, one less thing to do in startup.
