Mopar Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I just got a 95 cavalier, 2.2 motor. It doesn't get into the operating range on the water temp gauge. The heat isn't as hot as it should be, but its warm. I was thinking there is a blockage somewhere, but it doesn't seem like its running hot. The radiator has been replaced about a year or two ago from an accident. Its not leaking coolant, any ideas on what to check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Cool, I'll do that. Rob you should add that to the sticky you made. I didn't see that on there when I looked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 most likely the t-stat. Burping those can be a real bitch sometimes. I like to use a hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlr8tn Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 most likely the t-stat. Burping those can be a real bitch sometimes. I like to use a hill. I just take the cap off and let the car run then top it off and call it a day. Some cars will also have a bleeder on the stat housing. I see you're in somerset....I'm up near Lancaster on Rt22.
