Heater Question
Heat from vents is lukewarm but if you are idling and rev the engine the air coming out of the vents gets slightly warmer.
No leaks anywhere and no drips from heater core.
Theremostat or water pump?
Thank you,

Or, obstruction in the heater core, water valve, or hoses.
Measuring the inlet water temperature to the core would eliminate the t-stat as a source of the problem.
A 160F t-stat does not provide enough heat in winter--my opinion.

Replaced the thermostat this afternoon and checked it with laser thermometer and water temp is 195 but air tem coming from vent is only 104 and jumps to 114 when engine is revved. Must be water pump I guess. Just my luck
