More than likely your low on coolant from a leak and there is not enough in the system to circulate to the heater core car is probably leaving a spot where you park check it out before it costs you a head gasket very expensive fix

What happens when your thermostat goes bad?
When a thermostat goes bad in a vehicle, it can make your car overheat. It can also make it t where you do not have any heat inside your car.
With no thermostat in my car it doesn't over heat but has no heat put a thermostat in it still has no heat but over heats why?
if it has a plastic impeller inside water pump it may be broke or faulty thermostat .check by boiling in water till temp its suppose to open
Does the engine temperature control the heat in the car?
The engine's thermostat controls the engine coolant temperature. The temperature control inside for the heater controls the cabin heat.
Does the heater work without a thermostat?
eventually, but it will take much longer for the engine to heat up, thus taking much longer to get heat inside of the car.
Why would your car not have heat?
thermostat is frozen.
How do you fix loss of heat in car?
check the thermostat
How can detect a bad car thermostat?
If thermostat does not open - Vehicle will overheat in a short time - no heat If thermostat does no close - vehicle will not get to normal operating temperature - no heat
1991 cutlass supreme if you take out your thermostat will you still get heat inside the car?
Yes You will, But not as well as with the thermostat in. Also, the thermostat helps keep the motor at the right operating temperature. Removing it will impead emission controls and may reduce milage.
If the fan works in my 89 Mazda 323 but i have no heat and i have already replaced the thermostat but still nothing what could be wrong and how do i fix it?
the thermostat had nothing to do with that, water is not going into the heater radiator inside the car .... the valve that controls it is probably bad or not being actuated when applied... the control lever should be in the red section otherwise the hot water will not circulate inside the car thus no heat... check the hoses that go inside the car and see if they get hot,,,,good luck
Heat in car sometimes does not work?
Check the following.............. 1. Coolant level. 2. Thermostat. 3. Inside controls cables, vacuum and actuators.
What does the thermostat on a car do?
The thermostat in a car regulates the coolant temperature inside the engine. When the engine is cold, the thermostat is closed, allowing the heat from the combustion chamber to heat the fluid (coolant) in the coolant galleys in the engine block. Once the engine reaches an optimal temperature, the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to flow through the radiator. The thermostat then controls the flow of coolant to hold the engine at its optimum operating temperature, irrespective of engine load and operating condtions.
Will a bad thermostat cause your car to over heat?
Yes
