Will a clogged heater core cause engine to overheat?

Yes, a clogged heater core can contribute to engine overheating. The heater core is part of the vehicle's cooling system, and if it becomes blocked, it restricts coolant flow. This can lead to inadequate cooling of the engine, causing it to overheat. Additionally, if the heater core is clogged, it may also reduce the effectiveness of the cabin heating system.
