Same issue with '97 Taurus with the 3.0 Vulcan engine. Replaced water pump less than a year ago, and the thermostat less than a week ago.
Thermostat seemed to fix the HUGE temp fluctuations, but still no heat.
Took the bypass out of the system, replaced with regular hoses. Temp stayed low, and output hose from heater core stayed cool to the touch.
Back-flushed just the core a few weeks ago, and still no heat. *sigh* Gonna have to swap out the core, I guess...
nearly $100 US for a new heater core... Plus whatever my time is worth per hour... |
