Need help with heathing problems...

I dont knwo if this its like a 240 thing but i had a 92 and a 89 s13 wich i had the same exact problem with the one i have now, i live in mass, so it gets kinda to cold up here by winter time. and so far i have no other car but my 240. now i have a 93 s13, that it takes forever to warm up, i turn it on for like 15 to 20 minutes to warm up a lil bit, and the heat in the car its not as hot as i would like it to be its just warm, some ppl told me that its the thermostat, so i was wondering if its that or something else cuz like i said i had the exact problem, with my other 2 240's that i had thanks....

it could be that the thermostat is stuck open. i assume if you've been told what the problem might be they also told you how to check it so i wont go into that. a quick fix remedy is to get a piece of card board about the size of the radiator and slide in between the ac condenser and the radiator core. it's not the best solution but a quick one that will work until you replace the thermostat if in fact that is the problem.

Don't forget this part. Had a friend that skipped that step and had a air pocket stuck in the line, lets just say he was overheating and then cursing in the end.

yea... the FSM also suggest that you raise the front of the car slightly/evenly while bleeding.
