SOURCE: 94 jeep wrangler overheating

Have the cooling system pressure tested. If it holds pressure, that's a good thing. If it doesn't hold pressure, you may have a leaking head gasket. What may be happening is the crack in the head gasket could be blowing hot air into the cooling system causing it to overheat.

SOURCE: heater only blows warm air.

The hoses from your heater core should be very hot to the touch. Check the hoses going to the core from the water pump. It should be very hot. The return hose should also be very hot. Now check the hoses going to the core. If they are not the same temp, then your heater control valve is not working correctly or the vacuum is not working. At any rate, locate the vacuum line going to the heater valve. Remove the silver bar on the valve from the plastic plunger arm. You will have heat all the time now if it was only a vacuum problem. You can fix it later when it's warmer out. BTW a 200* thermostat will make your heater even hotter.

SOURCE: The heat in my 1992 Jeep Wangler is not working.

Hi!
It appears we have an Air lock scenario and you will need to perform a system Bleed.
Park the vehicle on level ground, when cold remove coolant filler cap, start engine and leave to idle, turn heater on full and blower to max. When engine reaches operating temperature watch and listen near coolant filler, keep clear as gurgling and hopefully a boil over should occur. Top up with very warm coolant and wait as it may do it again.
Check for heat inside vehicle if warm replace coolant cap but keep an eye on temperature gauge as the ~Air lock may have moved on from heater matrix/core so proceedure needs to be carried out again from COLD.
If persistent boil ups/over attention must made in the cylinder head
or gasket area, or possibly water pump?
Please press the Blue button to appraise my FREE Efforts, Thank You!

SOURCE: I have a 4cyl 1998

There is a heater control valve on the heater core hose. This is a common problem on the Jeep Wranglers. The valve is not opening.

My 2002 Jeep Liberty 3.7 don't throw me heat only cold air

There is something called a blend door in the heater box. This door is what moves to change from cold air to warm air. The part is 86 dollars online. http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/products/JEEP/LIBERTY/ACTUATOR-Blend-Door-AC-and-Heater/4341513/05066519AA.html

What does your radiator fill tank look like? When is the last time you changed radiator fluid? If you have an oil leak into the radiator, combination produces a jelly like substance that may be what blocks the screen. You may need a radiator flush and refill.

2005 jeep liberty blows cold air through the heater.

Either you are low on coolant and there is air in your heater core, or the thermostat isn't working properly, or your water pump is going out.

2002 jeep liberty heat only works at high rpm

Sounds like low flow issue. Flush and clean system, PROPERLY! Buy a flush kit, drain system, blow compressed air through, fill with cleaner/water mix, run for 30 min with heat on, drain system, blow out with compressed air, fill with water, run for 30 min, drain, blow out with compressed air, fill with 60% coolant mix.

I have a 4cyl 1999 Jeep Wrangler. The heater only blows warm air, no hot air. I have back flushed the heater core with a garden hose and there was no clog. I have checked the t-stat and it is...

The key is the heater hoses. The top hose is the inlet for the heater core and the bottom is the return line. If the bottom hose is not hot, there is little flow through the heater core. It does not have to be completely clogged to reduce the heat output. The core needs to be flushed multiple times IN BOTH DIRECTIONS through the heater hoses. If this does not restore the heat, try a commercial/radiator flush. Many people have had alot of success by filling the core, through the heater hoses, with a CLR type product and letting it sit for 10-15 minutes to remove scale followed by a thorough flush.

Why does my 02 Jeep Liberty blow out cold air at an idle & warm air only while driving?

Hello mcebbie.
From the symptoms you describe it is a restriction in the heater core or the hoses.
At idle the water pump is turning slowly and has less pressure and flow.
As your engine speeds up so does the water pump and it flows more heated coolant through the core.
Check for a pinched line in and out of the heater core. If they appear OK you may need the core flushed or replaced.
I hope your repair goes well for you.

Thank you for using FixYa.
