1999 Ford Taurus LX review from North America
"An average car good on fuel"
General comments?
Heater blows cold air. Changed thermostat 3 times, flushed 3 times forward and back, had good flow, changed water pump, clamped bypass line, heater works moderately when engine rpm high.
It can't be blend door or blend door motor as the temp controller functions normally. I believe design problem, either poor flow, but more likely air lock issues due to height relative to the rest of the cooling system not sure. I can't believe somebody doesn't have a real fix for this stupid problem.
