I have no heat in my RX7. I know that there is no air bubbles in my coolant system, the thermostat is new, & I just checked to make sure that the temp control was in fact actuating the door (valve) down on the heater. The blower blows absolutely fine, I just can't get warm air!?? Anyone have any other suggestions?

I am thinking that my heater core is clogged. Upon further inspection I found the the core is beginning to leak & I think that I will be replacing that in the future here.....yay!

Yea thanks, I am gonna try that & see if I can unclog it, but at some point I am going to have to replace it, because I know it is leaking - small right now. I am gonna try to unclog it & limp it through the rest of the winter.

I had a Pontiac like that once, then one day it totally went, windshield fogged right up, coolant dumped on the floor....... real f'ing mess.



I had to change it outside when it was like 20 degrees because it was my daily.

Taught me to take care of these things when its convenient

The nice thing with the RX7 is that it isn't my daily driver, so I don't NEED to be driving the car! That doesn't mean that I don't WANT to be driving it though. I will get the heater core and then rip into it as soon as I can.

the way my fd blows heat, i never even gave it much thought that it could break.



then again, i can drive the car with no heat blowing and the inside of the car will still be burning after 20 minutes.
