i thought using the heater keeps your car cool? and using ac heats up your car?

OK, so for some advice :-) I had this happen to my DA for a while...and I just added radiator fluid (in winter make sure it's 50/50 antifreeze) and this resolved it, car warms up faster (still takes 10 minutes in below freezing weather), and heater blows hot :-)
ya its tight, clean and straight with a little ding on the back but nothing major, hes a car guy what can i say, in high school he had a 69 charger rt, green with a black stripe, about the only car id rather have over my crx so hes a car guy, hoping to motor swap this bitch too, what rims would look good on a delsol? right now hes trying to find some ls webs maybe but we cant get a pic of wtf itd look like on it, o ya its also white. but anyways on my z6 turbo i took the thermostat out, going down chinook pass "mountain pass to seattle area" my temp gauge would go all the way down til i started on a straight road or hill. maybe your coolant mixture is all wack? how much water do u have in there.

You should do the carboard trick and switch to a hotter thermostat.

Hey jon. My car never heats up during the winter. Ive got a dual core radiator and i dont think that helps at all. I think im going to try the cardboard trick. My roomate had the same issues. It must be a honda thing.

Don't doubt defective parts off the shelf.

My daily driver went from warming right up the first year my momma owned it, to freezing the next, and freezing me the next two winters. Going on the third feeezing *** winter, and since the engine swap (thank you Mr Blundell) it on again off again heats up quickly. I'm pretty sure I have crap clogging up my heater core.
