Why does my car get warm when I stop?
If your car begins to overheat when idling, but the temperature gauge moves back down once you get going, it’s most likely due to a broken radiator fan. When the coolant goes to the radiator, it’s spread over a large surface area to cool it down. Airflow further cools it before it returns to the engine.
Why does the heater in my car only work when I driving?
Hi there. When your vehicle is in motion and driving down the road, then engine coolant temperature tends to get hotter on the engine before it gets to the radiator, so the heater will naturally heat up more when driving around. Top off the coolant if its low.
What are the symptoms of a stuck open thermostat?
If the thermostat becomes stuck in the open position, there is continuous flow of coolant into the radiator causing the engine to run cold. Overcooled engines run inefficiently, which leads to increased fuel consumption and higher emission levels and engine parts enduring more wear.

Why is my Toyota car heater blowing cold air?
Some vehicles have a valve installed in the heater core inlet line. If the valve is stuck closed, that may also answer the question, is your Toyota car heater blowing cold air. Sometimes corrosion and plugged inner tubes may be the culprit, or debris has interrupted the heater core fins. Break open the heater box and clean it out completely.
What does it mean when your car heater is not working?
There are two hoses coming to and from the heater core. They both should feel warm or hot to the touch with the engine on. If one of the hoses is hot, and the other one is cold, that is a pretty good indication that the heater core is clogged. If the neither hose has any heat, you may have air in the cooling system, low fluid, or low pressure.
When to take coolant out of your car?
Try to get your vehicle on a schedule that will keep everything running in tip-top condition. Most newer cars may not need servicing of coolant until 60,000 to 100,000 miles, but it is always wise to have it checked when in for factory scheduled maintenance, regardless.
