I have a 2007 Ford Taurus sel. Had a leak in the head gasket. It has since been repaired. Have had heating issues since. I have good heat as long as I hit the gas. If I'm not on the gas it blows cold. Had the thermostat replaced and the entire cooling system flushed and cleaned. Has been pressure tested so I know it's not air getting in the system. I need help. It's freezing and my auto start is pointless. Any ideas or tips would be helpful.

Sounds like that its has got air still trapped in the system and needs bleeding there should be a bleed point on one of the coolant pipes going to the heater radiator or the highest point in the system

SOURCE: 98 Expedition 4.6L Overheating, Blows Cold Air

Sounds like the fan and temp gauge (located on the intake mainfold is screwing up) , if its head gaskets it would be smoking out the tail pipe. Have you added any antifreeze if so was it once a week if so make sure nothings leaking on the ground if there isn't then its your head gaskets that would be a first for a 4.6 which is a good motor and none I would on ever had bad heads. I would check the water pump fan first with truck off grap fan at 9 and 3 and see if it wobbels forward and backward if so it's the fan. I have come across alot of bad fans. Fan would cost $30 and up. Rate of difficulty 1-10 I give it a 4.

SOURCE: 1995 BMW 525I over heating issue. I repaired head

Hi, Sounds like you have tried about everything. Ok the aux. coolant switch is for the electric pump for the heater core will not cause an over heating condition just a longer warm up of the heater core. Has the cooling system been bleed properly if there is a trapped air pocket it will not let coolant circulate. Was the new thermostat installed correctly? They have a vent that needs to be towards the top or they trap air on the back side and cant take an accurate reading to open and close. Other areas to look at would be proper operation of the fan clutch, if they fail they can cause the fan to not lock up properly and supply enough air movement through the radiator. The aux. electric fans and their temp switches do you hear them coming on are they coming on at the right temp.

You may need to replace the blend door actuator or its motor.

I have a 99 ford Taurus single over head 3.0. Having an issue with a rough idle and no heat. Just replaced the thermostat and water pump. The old water pump was the worst I had ever seen. I have...

what was the worst about the pump?I don't know what that means? the no heat could be a clogged core, try to flush it in both directions and make sure water flows freely. As for the rough idle... is the car overheating or pushing out coolant? if so there could be head gasket issues?>?

No heat from heater, antifreeze leak.

Start car and put your hand two inches from the tailpipe for 10 seconds and immediately smell your hand. Is there a sweet smell? If there is you are getting antifreeze into your combustion chamber. Head gasket or intake gasket leak.
If it is not this. Put some new cardboard under the vehicle (under engine and transmission) and try to get an idea of where it is leaking.
You wont get heat from a car if it's coolant level is too low.
