heat loss from vents

sk8mystery4lfe · Jan 22, 2014

I have a 2g na 98 eclipse and have a heat problem. if I let the car warm up then sometimes I will have warm air come through the vents but when I start driving the temp guage starts to slowly lower and eventually bury under the cold. I changed the thermostat, and the temperature switch. I will be changing the temperature coolant sensor and I was wondering to get any input. thanks

During winter months cover 1/2-3/4 of the radiator with cardboard (between radiator and AC condensor) - standard proceedure here in Mn.

I live in the Midwest and I don't need to cover/block part of my radiator. Did you burp your coolant system? What temp thermostat are you using? I've actually had back to back thermostats fail on me.

I've heard some people have issues because the thermostat is installed upside down.

Failing everything mentioned, you can also pull you dash out and inspect your ventalation passages for the sealing spots and proper function of the air gates.
