What is wrong with your heater 97 Ford Taurus GL new thermostat new overflow tank no leaks never overheats Heater blows hot air for about a minute then turns luke warm to cold?

heater core plugged under dash
Answer If flushing the heater core doesn't solve the problem, the next step is to check the operation of the blend door. This model has problems with the door breaking and failing to control air flow through the heater core, appearing like the core is bad. Check heatertreater.net for pictures, diagnostic information, and a fix.

What might cause a 1993 Ford Taurus SHO to overheat when there are known leaks?
have you flushed your radiator or changed the thermostat it could be stuck
Your 97 Ford Taurus is leaking coolant how do you find out what is the cause?
Let me tell basically the places it could be leaking. If it inside the car then the heater core is probably bad. Check the radiator, the top, and bottom coolant hoses. The bottom hose will coming from your water pump. The hoses or the water pump could be leaking (if the pump is leaking then it will have to be replaced). There is a thermostat that could leak if not properly installed. This will be located, under a housing, at the point your top hose enters the engine. There will also be two hoses going toward the fire wall. These are the in and out hoses for the heater core. Theses could also be leaking. You could always get a UV light kit and put dye in the coolant and trace it that way also. (This in my opinion is the easiest method.) Well, I hope you find it. Good luck.

94 Taurus - radiator hose expands due to building pressure when car is running. Why?
Your coolant system is a pressurized one so some pressure is normal, if the hose is expanding it probably needs to be replaced. Check to be sure that you have a good radiator cap that has the correct psi rating for the vehicle. If the radiator cap is venting pressure into the overflow tank and it is a proper functioning cap then there may be a head gasket issue to deal with but it sounds like what you have is normal, but the radiator hose is getting old.
