What happens when your heater is on its normal temp?
When a restriction exists sometimes the radiator alone is not enough. The heater core is like a small radiator inside the dash and is also another means of dissipating the heat from the cooling system. So essentially when the heat is on you are introducing a second radiator into the system which will help to cool the engine down.

First Step: Change the thermostat setting up or down. If the heating system won’t turn OFF, that is if heat keeps being delivered even when you don’t want it, set the thermostat to its lowest temperature setting and wait three to five minutes.
