my heat only gets warm and now lately the passenger side of the windshield has begun to fog up even with the heat/defrost/ and all off. is the heater core clogged or something else? no collant is found leaking on the passenger side floor.

Taking it out, its a slight pain, but sounds like you need a new one.

I think i gotta replace my core as well... my car runs on the first notch below the middle one on the temp gauge (dunno what the numbers are) very consistently... but i get very little heat from the heater. even with full coolant. it's funny though... i just put a new thermostat in (180*), and after driving for plenty of time, i can actually hold on to the upper radiator hose... it's wierd. any ideas?

hiflow50, in your tech write up you say that you have to discharge the a.c. how is that done?

To be Ozone safe and legal that should be done at a specific shop before the project. It can also be done by removing the line going into the top of the compressor, but I can not say to do it that way because it's not environmentally safe.
