thanks will check in the morning

Before you hang it from a coathanger in a pot of water, with a thermometer and gradually heat it up on the oven burner to see if it opens at the right temperature (or at all),

check around to know for sure you can get a replacement thermostat + a gasket.

Also keep in mind the heat will not blow out of the vents on these... you can only get hot air out of the floor or defrost. It's just the way it's made.

Thermostat does not open. Remove and test thermostat.

Hello again well finally just got my car started and now i ran into different problems .First is my heat is not working no hot air and also the radiator seem to be getting no flow, when i squeezed the hose going to engine and radiator it was not flowing also the fan did not kick on (well it really didn't get that hot for it to kick on just turned it off until i find out the problem). Can anyone think of what it might be.

Thanks
