alexgaddis Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 My Camry is having issues with the heat just in time for Winter! The temperature gauge only rises when the engine has warmed up and I am not moving, turning on the blower and diving causes the temp to go down... Is this the thermostat or the radiator??

If it only happens when you're diving it's got to be the underwater thermal flux capacitor modulator. AutoZone stocks them. Good luck.

paulzale Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thermostat, it isn't shutting and keeping the heat in the coolant, less than $20 at autozone and easy to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulzale Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 (edited) I've gotta change one this week for my sister-in-law and then clean out the throttle body to hopefully fix a separate cold idle issue....on a Toyota!!!

TimC Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Doesn't the hate from the shame and indignation of driving such a foreign piece of crap car keep you warm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
