Thanks that is really good info .

If you stop the car and let it idle again does the heat drop off again. ?
Mine is fine while I am driving but if I stop at a light , by the time it
goes green again the air is luke warm at best , sometimes down right cool !

I can think of and it just won't produce decent heat at idle. I just have
one or two last few questions before I put the nail in the coffin.
