disconnect both the inlet and outlet hoses going through the firewall to the heater core... using a garden hose force water though one heater core hose until clear, then the other... do this several times until you have good flow of water in both directions... tips... try and use hot water through your garden hose... try to drain the entire cooling system and flush with water until clear and add a coolant flush additive and run engine for about 20 mins so the cleaner additive can break down some of the deposits... then drain and flush again.... if heater still does not work well.. then resort to disconnecting the heater core hoses and flushing and back flushing the heater core a few times... if all else fails, you might need to replace your heater core... good luck

What could cause a toilet to lose suction power and sometimes not even take down the water?
Home toilets do not use "suction power" to flush. The inertia of the water falling from the tank when you flush pushes water through the trap and down the drain. If there is any significant amount of blockage in the drain, the water will not be able to move at enough velocity to get past the trap. In other words, if the drain is blocked, water can't flow fast enough to flush. You'll need to get the drain cleaned out to make it flush.
