PISSED and freezing

K got an 88 ef temp gauge reads just over half 5 minuites after start up i have replaced thermostat , checked all cables to and from heater core/vents/engine bay everything functions , flushed the cooling system in both directions with homemade garden hose attachment, replaced heater core and i still have no heat when its on outside air when i put it on recirculate i get burning hot air but can't drive too far cuz all windows fog up in <5 minuites can someone help out here?????????????????

is it cuz its just too damn cold or is this a JDM mystery ?

water pump works well also cuz i was stoned and forgot to put the clamp back on the hose under the dizzy and it sprayed coolant everywhere!!!!!

sounds like a goddamn mystery to me...on recirc you get hot *** air but on fresh you get nothin at all...wow...just keep it in the middle of recirc and fresh!

and just over half is pretty damn hot for the car to be running aint it? my civics/crx never got past 1/3 and I still have nice heat!

i broke the gas gauge needle and the temp needle off when i tried to customize my cluster didn't realize there not supposed to come apart till after i broke them so i replaced the two modules from another cluster


i cannot put it on half way because then the windows fog up and i can't see out the windows let me correct this i feel like cool air not cold and not even close to warm air on the bring fresh air setting on

also when i replaced the thermostat i bought like a 78 degree one i think it was it was the coldest one they had gauge still sits high

thats freakin weird man...my black civic always fogged up and I had no real heat...it got to barable but not warm...made me mad! and I could never figure out what it was...I narrowed it down to the heater hose valve thing where it opens and closes...I figured it was clogged a bit...but that car is gone now so I dont care...try swapping a new valve in there
