Why do I have no coolant in my heater?
If the input to the heater core is hot, but the outlet is at best luke warm, that might mean there’s no coolant flow through the core when the engine is running and the heat is set to max for some reason. Easy enough to determine by experiment. Loosen the output hose at the fire wall.
