Why is the heater not blowing hot air on the floor panel and very little through vent in your 92 Ford the antifreeze is at level already did a radiator flush also takes along time to warm up?

Sounds like the thermostat is stuck open. Replace the thermostat.

Where is the radiator cap in a 2004 avalanche?
There is no radiator cap, you must fill through the coolant reservoir.
Can liquids conduct thermal energy?
Yes, all of them do. The most common liquid that conducts thermal energy is, of course, water. We put water - with a little ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) - into the radiator of your car. When you start the car, the engine gets hot, because of the gasoline and air exploding in each cylinder. Water running through the cooling manifold picks up the heat and cools the engine. The water runs through the heater core of your car and some of the heat is transferred to the air blowing into your car. The water then goes back into the radiator, and the heat from the water is transferred to the air going through the radiator. The now-cooled water goes back through the engine.
Can coolant be checked with a volt meter?
if you can read voltage in the water of a radiator , then there is a problem and the water needs to be drained and flushed and new antifreeze installed . if you are using full strength antifreeze, it must be mixed 50/50 with distilled water only. never use tap water in a radiator ! Thanks Jim TAnother viewThere is a specific problem that can be checked with a volt meter, I do this every major service (spring and fall) I check coolant voltage with engine running to engine block and chassis.If you read more than the error level for the meter you have a ground problem and this is grounding through the cooling system and will damage the cooling system. Most likely the radiator
How do you add coolant to a car?
Drain existing coolant from the plug at the bottom or rear of the radiator Flush radiator with clean water until water runs clear Re-fill radiator slowly (to prevent an airlock) with a mixture of 50/50 water and antifreeze Run engine to normal operating temperature with heater on Re-check coolant level
Why does my 97 Subaru overheat but when you accelerate it cools off I already changed the thermostat 3 times and It has a brand new cooling system.?
has the water pump been changed. is the fan working correctly. sounds to me you are not getting enough cooler air through radiator. check the operation of the fan and that the radiator fins are not full of dirt and leaves
Does antifreeze travel through the radiator cap of an 2004 impala?
Through the radiator cap no... But it does allow the antifreeze to come out through the cap if the pressure gets too high.
Why isn't the antifreeze circulating through the radiator?
you have a hole somewhere or replaces your radiator
What if your antifreeze drips and it looks like rust?
then you should have your radiator flushed because you have rust in it. FYI: antifreeze can strip the paint off of your it you spill it. Also, you may need to replace your radiator if the antifreeze is leaking, it may be through a rusted/corroded portion of the radiator.
Where is the antifreeze located on your car?
the antifreeze runs through all your water lines in your car . . . . you put it in your water tank or radiator
How do i add water to the radiator in a 2005 Malibu?
It is no longer necessary to add just water to a radiator in newer cars like the 2005 Malibu. An antifreeze that is half water and half antifreeze is usually best. Add the 50/50 antifreeze to the radiator overflow tank. It should be a plastic, see through tank hooked to the radiator.
How should you put in antifreeze?
Use a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water and fill SLOWLY to prevent an airlock through the top of the radiator
Where do you pour antifreeze into a 2000 Plymouth Grand Voyager?
In the top of the radiator or through the coolant recovery tank
What to do when water freezes in automobile?
If you mean the water in your radiator, don't drive your vehicle until it thaws or your engine will overheat because no coolant will be flowing through it. You should keep 50% antifreeze and 50% distilled water in your car radiator at all times. (maybe slightly more antifreeze in cold winter weather) Water in the radiator won't freeze with antifreeze mixed with it.
Where is the port to refill the antifreeze in 97 expedition?
Either at the top of the radiator or fill through the coolant recovery tank
What is proper fan sucking air through radiator to engine or blowing from engine to the radiator?
Actually, both are used. However, it is more common to pull air through the radiator towards the engine. This draws cooler outside air through the radiator. Pushing air from the engine towards the radiator means that you are pulling hot air from around the engine towards the radiator.
Why is antifreeze necessary?
To keep your engine from overheating the coolant runs from the radiator through the hoses into the block and back through the hoses into the radiator where it gets cooled by the fan and the air and starts the process all over again.
How do you change the coolant on a 2002 Oldsmobile alero?
Drain radiator through plug at bottom or rear of radiator Re-fill radiator with a 50/50 mixture of antifreeze and water slowly to prevent an air lock
