Heat went out, need advice
Today I started her up and after letting her warm up for a few minutes ice cold air was still blowing out. What should I look for? It's 10 degrees out and I'm dying. When it comes to my car I can make her fast, but I am no mechanic.

185 is low, should be running 195-200. Im having the same prob except mine is hardly getting over 170 unless i drive the car for like a hour then it finnaly gets up to 190 and the heat starts working. check fuses first though. sometimes they blow and the doors in the system wont move.

LNF average is about 195-200

your coolant temp is fine. i would check fuses. check your cabin air filter sounds dumb but mine wasnt blowing at full and it was dirty. is it making a ticking noise at all? that usually meens the controller or whatever's under the dash. change thermostat its a easy and cheap fix

My blower was ticking a few days ago, now it isn't. But the blower is the only thing that seems to be working
It's not just luke warm air, it's ice cold. Warmer in my car with the air off

Just checked both climate control fuses, they're fine. Now what? I heard there's a valve thing that switches the air flow from the condenser to heater core, where's this bad boy at? I think it might be stuck. Either that or a heater core
