Heating - Chrysler Forum

Hello all:

I have a heating problem with my '99 Cirrus,6 cylinder, 2.5L. When I come to a stop at a stop light, or any other stop that keeps me at idle for a minute or longer, the air coming out of my vents goes from nice and hot to cold. If I put her in neutral and rev...then it will get warm again. If I wait, then take off, ...warm again. I have plenty of coolant in the system.
Could the thermo be getting stuck closed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance......................rob

Hey Tech!

Thanks so much. I had said that I thought I had plenty of coolant, but I was going by the overflow tank. I took the cap off over at the engine, and it took almost the whole jug of coolant. I wonder why my overflow tank shows a couple of inches worth all the time?

I will look for the leak, and thanks again. After filling the system back up, heat works all the time.

Much appreciated.
