My main problem is that there is hardly any heat coming out of my heaters!

I have checked the connections on the rear of the temp. adjustment knob and everything is fine.

There is enough water in the system with no air locks.

It doesnt overheat.

BUT... the water does take while to warm up, and when it does, the heaters are only "warm", but as soon as i start driving and the temp drops, cold air is blown out.

Im guessing my thermostat is sticking open.

Or is there a chance that a cool running stat could be making this happen??

Any help will be greatly appreciated!! (and sorry about the essay!)

Ran it with the cap of the expansion cap off and let it boil over (got told this may eliminate it but unsure)

How would you recommend i eliminate an airlock?

May bleed the water system on the weekend and see how that goes.

You not think it could be the stat at all???
