problem has to do with my girlfriends car. its an 03 ep3.(honda civic) it all started on halloween night. dressed as a zombie, i creamed the fuck out of a dear. this caused it to fly over the roof and over a guard rail.i got out,screamed for about 10 minutes and then relized the guard rail had a 100 foot cliff on the other side so i felt alittle better knowing the deer is pushing daisys. the car needed: hood bumper headlights bumper and a fender. two days after while stopped at a light, the heat cuts out ans starts blowing cold air.i get moving again and it blows hot…stop, cold. so i pull in the garage and take a peak under the hood. the rad has a very small leak in it due to an antler.so i figured the reason for the on and off heat was the low coolant level not making it to the heater core until i put load on the motor…i put coolant in and same thing. car got all the body work and a new rad done tonight and as im driving home…guess what? same fucking thing.and i cant really check the fluid in the rad because the overflow is hidden in the bumper. i checked the heater core fuse and its fine. so im stumped. is there one of those little corkscrew pieces on the core that selects fan speed? i know if those go out it stops the heat… sorry for the huge story ---

air pocket… not sure on the EP’s bleeding procedure, but it’s probably got air in the heater core. ---

did you use the right 50/50 mixture? W/ engine warm , check heater core hoses to see if they are hot. Flush and fill with right mixture and get rid of air pockets ---
