so is it just me or am i the onyl one who barely has any heat in the winter?
at idle my car warms up perfectly fine and blows plenty of heat.. but when im driving... my car wont stay warm..and when it does warm up a bit if i turn the heat on the temp gauge goes down...

help a guy freezing his sack off everytime he drives....

 

[bootlegcivic]

block part of your radiator it should help with the heat issue

but that intercooler on and you wont be having these issues. my damn ic is causing my underhood temps to rise. i have seen a 6 degree increase in the last few days for some reason.

my climate controls are fubar'd, the heat knob is stuck halfway open :sad:

 

[jimmyb34]

i dont have everythign for the turbo lol... im wondering if maybe its my thermostat? maybe previous owner installed a higher degree one or something?

 

[carby]

Yes its probably your thermostat.

DO NOT USE A HIGHER TEMPERATURE THERMOSTAT!!!!

It does not fix your problem.

If its stuck open you will be at regular temperature at a stop light, for example, and you take off... your temp will close to the cold mark.

If its stuck closed your car will overheat.

Try the cardboard trick if your outside temps are below 10 degrees. I recommend wax coated cardboard.

Changing the temperature that your engine operates is not a good idea... It really messes with things.

i have a full size radiator, and i have never experienced this problem, even that 1 day it was -10 outside.

its your thermostat man. its stuck open. replace that baish

 

[jimmyb34]

yeah im prolly gonan grab up another tstat.... gay shit, im ready to blow this thing up
more money more money more money

krychek (chris) was talking about honda's today, and he gave me some photos of me and my dirt-mobile autocrossing a few years ago...

Had to stop in and say hi to the fellas. Once I get a house, i'll look into building another EF
