Best Answer

Check your temperature gauge. If it shows the engine is running in the normal range then there could be a problem with the "air door" that controls how much air is brought in through the heater core. Or the core itself is plugged and needs to be flushed out. If the guage shows the engine is running cold , then you should have the thermostat replaced.

Most of the Sunfire vehicles do not have a plug in for the cold. If a 2002 Sunfire had an aftermarket block heater installed, the cord for it would be located in the front bumper.

My 1996 Pontiac sunfire in front of engine is a cord what is it used for?

Is it an electrical cord that looks like it would plug into a standard AC outlet? If so, it's probably involved in keeping the car warm in cold weather. It could be a block heater, a battery heater or an oil dipstick heater. Some block heaters are mounted inline in one of the radiator hoses. When plugged in, it heats and circulates the coolant through the block. The battery heaters are essentially a small heating pad that sits beneath the battery.

How do you knoW if heater coil is not working IN A 1996 S-10 2.2?

With the engine warmed up and running, open the hood and feel both heater hoses with your hand. They should both be hot. If one is hot and the other is cold or warm, the heater core is plugged. If they are both cold or warm the thermostat is stuck open or you are low on coolant.
