Well as u all know its WINTER out, and my car has no heat. Not even any engine heat come out when i turn it to "hot." Basically its bone cold when it is on the "hottest temp" i kno this problem could be the thermostat, and umm the heater core i believe. im not sure. but could someone shed some light on me. PLEASE! im trying to get some ideas and info before deciding to take it to acura or just a regular shop. thanks for yah help guys

 

If you don't see any coolant leaks from it, the heater core is find. Don't need to replace it.
Usually if you don't have any heat, is causing by the vacum door which control (inside the dash) from cold to hot.
The best bet just take the car to a mechanic.
Cuz they might have to take the dash apart.

Good luck...

 

Could also be a thermostat that is messed up ... go to mechanic to diagnose. Too many variables that climate control uses to regulate car interior temperature.

 

if your motor (temp gauge) goes to the normal position its either the water control valve, mix motor or heater core plugged. Odds are its the water control valve.

gettin a job done at half pricce so u dont freeze your blass off all winter: RPICELESS

 

I got this same problem and just passed the 5 yr mark with only 57k miles...Anyone knows if this is still covered under warranty?

 

OH MY GOD, do not let anyone take apart the dash just yet. Mine did the same exact thing, coming to find out it was only the little pully up against the firewall. When you turn it on heat theres this little pully that retracts back and forth and all it does is get stuck sometimes. You have to manually move it with your hand to free it up.

 

Can you further explain where this pulley is locateed? A pic or description would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks.

 

its almost up against the firewall towards the passenger side. It has like a steel wire controling it.
