4 out of 5 times when this happens, the fix is as simple as topping off the coolant level.

This has been discussed several times on this forum- try it and see!

mine did the same thing..low on coolant.

Worse comes to worse, it could be the heater valve. Check if any coolant is leaking.

check coolant in the radiator when engine is cold? and off?

siniquezu

You don't wanna check it when it's hot...

DaizenLex

um that was a joke guys

siniquezu

Whew ok. HAHA. I was about to bust a little Did you get it fixed?

DaizenLex

you know where the radiator cap is to the bottom left but still on the coolant reseoivar is this other round thing with wires going to it connected to a sensor im assuming ,it was severed , what the hell is it and can that be my problem, it still blowing hot air only when i press the gas my cooling fluid seems up to par

PERRYinLA

That is the coolant level sensor and that surrounding area is prone to leaks from fine cracks that develop. If you're losing small amounts of coolant from that area you would not be the first.

Even if the fluid level looks full, just try adding a little more and see if that helps. I recall one post saying that adding only 2 more oz. of fluid solved the problem.
