Is is possible??
 

does anyone know if it's possible to make heat in the car actually hotter? my heat is more warm than hot. my temp. gauge seems to stay cold, so it could be the thermostat or the ECT sensor right? i'm assuming my heating problem is connected to my second problem.......can anyone help??

technically u want your car to run as cold as possible. heat is not a good thing

your temp gauge could be the problem. what kind of car is this happening on?

time to get a portable heater that plugs into your cigarette lighter!

monopoly....i have a 94 integra. i doubt it's my gauge because every so often it will move a bit, forgot to mention that, but for the most part it stays at cold. i understand it's better for the engine to run cooler but i've been in many other cars where the heat gets like jamaica. since winter is around the corner now, i was wondering if it was possible to make it hotter. but like i mentioned above, i think my 2 problems are connected resulting in warm heat than actual hot air coming out of my vents

Your thermostat could be stuck open, not letting the engine warm up. But then I dont think you'd have ANY heat.

Also, you could have a reeeeealy low temp thermostat that opens too early, not letting the engine warm up all the way.

what temp. thermostat do you guys recommend? i'm thinking of changing mine

spoon

sorry....when i said temp. (i meant temperature range) not brand

Wrong!! Very, very wrong... You need proper heat for compleate combustion... when a motor is running too cold, it's outside of it's proper operating range, and doesn't deliever 100% of it's performance.

A few degrees cooler in a thermostat is ok... but running an engine as cold as possible is bad info.


As for the problem, I'd say it's your themostat... and usually not hard to change... and cost around $10-15...

Hey VR whats did u expect this is TSR lol

*sigh* LOL

Okayy looks like im on drugs i totally read gsr's question wrong my bad! what he said, change the termostat since it probably hasnt been done before

can anyone vouche for a thermostat from crappy tire??

i don't see why it wouldn't be any good... and if you're that worried i'm sure it's only like a few bucks more from the stealership...

yea or do what boosted suggested and get the spoon version...

im sure Crappy's version of a thermostat cant be that off

Whoever would actually buy a spoon thermostat needs to be hit in the face with a sledge hammer. You are ed, may as well look it too. What does it cost, 5x what a regular one costs? :sleeping:

CTC thermostat will be the same as what the dealer will give you.

Change the t-stat, may as well flush the cooling system and put in new coolant while you are at it since you will have to drain a bunch to change the t-stat anyways. Be sure to have the jiggle valve in the right position.

If that doesn't help your heat problem, rip out your dash and take a look at your heater core, it is probably clogged.

LOL! Awsome... ROFLMAO.... :owned:

Spoon... lol... some peoples kids :eek13:

Maybe they wanted the spoon sticker and extra 5hp it comes with

^^^its all about the stickers.

hahaha this stuff should be written in a book called:
The Untold Rice Stories: Stickers add Horsepower

Well when fast and You know frist came out i was at my buddys shop and one guy was buying a NOS kit for his honda. His buddy was grabing stickers from the sticker bin were he puts stickers from stuff he sells and puts on cars.

This kid was going nuts grabing stuff and when i went out side i heard him telling the other guy. DO u think your mom will mind u putting all the stickers on her car. NO dude she liked the movie too.
