Re: heat problem on 3.1l

Do you mean that the air is not getting hot, or just not blowing very hard? If it is not getting hot, that usually points to still having trapped air in your cooling system. when you open your bleed screws (both of them) don't just let it bubble, keep the screws open until you get a steady stream of coolant. Also while the screws are open, squeeze your upper radiator hose to make sure there is no more trapped air.

Re: heat problem on 3.1l

Luminas seem to suffer commonly from the cores getting slimed up with algea and mold and dirt to the point that there is no airflow through them. I'd think that would have been noticed/cured when the heater core was replaced, unless the A/C core is the problem and it wasn't noticed.

Re: heat problem on 3.1l

Do Manny's suggestion if the temp is the problem. My thought relates to no airflow w/good blower operation.
