That can be caused by a number of things. It could be a bad engine coolant thermostat. It could be low engine coolant due to a leak. It could be a clogged-up heater core. It could be a bad water pump. It could be a blown head gasket....the problem needs to be diagnosed before anyone can tell you exactly WHY you have poor heat. (Although many may try to GUESS and tell you to just start replacing parts without any diagnosis.)

Testimonial: "thank-you for your comments,i'll start with the easyest first."

SOURCE: plymouth acclaim ignition repair

the ignition cylinder will run you about 20$ and it is fairly easy to change you can change it yourself buy the chilton book (it will help later) and it will be cheaper than paying for labor although the entire replacement will take less than 30 min

SOURCE: how do i replace the timing belt on my '94 Plymouth Acclaim?

I did it twice and if you are fairly skilled it will take 4-6 hours, if you have the V6.
Here is the steps:
1. Move car to a place that can support a jack and engine stand.
2. Disconnect battery
3. Loosen wheel lugs on passenger side front tire
4. Jack car on passenger side to lift wheel of the ground
5. Put a block under the oil pan to support the engine
6. Block car frame on left side
7. Remove left front tire
8. Remove v-belt
9. Remove idler pulley
10. Remove and support air conditioner compressor
11. Remove PS pump if you have one
12. Remove motor mount on left side and vacuum / gas connections connected to mount ( mark bolts as to locations )
13. Remove metal plate on engine ( mark bolts as before )
Tricky bolts are on the PS pump (Remove them through PS pulley holes)
14. Remove 3 plastic covers over timing belt ( mark bolts as before )
15. Note timing marks on overhead cams and crank.If none, make some.
16. Ease pressure off timing belt tensioner
17. Remove belt and replace with new. Trick here is to make sure you get the belt notches lined up. Head cams will shift when you remove the old belt. Do not tighten the belt tensioner fully or it will not perform as designed, it should be snug but be able to move.
END... replace part is backward order and drive away !!!

The heat don't work in my 91 plymouth acclaim

I could be that there is no antifreeze in the radiator, that the thermostat is bad, or that the heater core is bad. try checking the antifreeze first. sometimes the thermostats in those cars get stuck open due to corrosion on the thermostat housing.

What type of engine oil would i use for a 1992 Plymouth Acclaim?

5W30 is recommended but if you have a lot of miles on the engine & the weather is hot, 10W40 would be better. Good car, had one myself! Good luck!

All i need is the mpg, i just bought it, its a 3.0

If all is well, and within reasonable shape & mileage, 25-30 shouldn't be out of reach on highway at normal speeds.
