![Question](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I am new to this car (Acura/Honda in general) so I don't know if this is really an issue or problem. The car is not overheating, it has decent interior heat BUT the lower radiator hose remains "stone cold" - as cold as the outside temperature. The thermostat is new (OEM), the coolant has been replaced and the system evacuated of any trapped air. I plan to flush/clean the heater core to increase the interior heat, but what (if anything) is causing the lower hoe to be so cold? Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated and welcomed.

well I just finished driving all over town and cavorting on my vehicle, I had the intensity on maxing out to assist it with chilling off and when I escaped the vehicle I poped the hood and checked everything out. the engine was truly hot. I grabed the base radiator hose and saw it was truly cold! I have a fluidyne radiator introduced. is this right or am I missing something? the water goes in the engine from the top and leaves where the thermo is right? satisfy somebody give me some data this is worrying me.
