You may have the same problem or a different one. Do you get good heat?

ha ha, no, i had a previous post about that. My thermostat is not stuck open because i opened the radiator cap when I started the car coolant is stagnant. So I think the heat problem is just a shot heater core or a clogged, one, probaby just clogged because it does blow a little warm.

How old is the radiator. Maybe thewre is not enough flow. Same thing for the core. Did you take the heater hoses of and try running water from the hose through it. I think this was already suggested.

Look down in the radiator, How do the cooling fins look. Are the tubes clean and free of corrosion or does it look narley!!
