heat doesnt work.. heater core isnt even warm.. wtf?
I can take the lower dash panel off and touch the heater core. It isn't even warm. I replaced the heater control valve a while back, so that can't be the problem. It's almost as though coolant never reaches the heater core. It's winter and not having heat sucks.. the core is only about a year old btw, and has never really worked right since I've had it. any help is much appreciated

Feel the inlet hose to the heater core and see if they are hot anywhere. if there not hot then you narrowed the problem down to something before the hose. Good luck

You may have air bubble(s) trapped in the coolant lines, possibly when you replaced the HCV. I believe I just took the hoses off the back of heater core to get them out. Someone might be able to back me up on this.
