Question

Help answer this question below.

My 1993 Civic takes forever to heat up. I will let it idle for a few minutes on start up, but even after about 10-15 minutes of driving my temperature gauge is still on C. Do I need a heater core flush, or is this a problem with my thermostat?

    Probably not your problem, but when it gets cold a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator (with about a three inch hole cut in the center) will help your car heater.

    P.S. They tell you you don't need to use distilled water in your radiator. They're wrong. And at a dollar a gallon, why risk a possible $300 repair?

    test the temp sender unit and guage

    the engine is getting warm

    the guage or sender is bad

    have you even checked under the hood to see if the radiator hoses are hot or not ?

    The guage could be busted or this can also happen when the rad is empty.
