Why does my car stop blowing hot air when I stop?
A heater can stop working for a number of reasons, including: A low antifreeze/water level in the radiator due to a leak in the cooling system. A bad thermostat that isn't allowing the engine to properly warm up. A blower fan that isn't working properly.
How do I get air out of my heater core?
Start the engine of your car and allow it to warm up for a while. Once it reaches the operating temperature, the heater valve automatically allows the coolant to flow through the heater core. This action pushes the air bubble outside. Leave the car idle in this state for 15-30 minutes.
Why does my car take so long to heat up?
