CAR HEAT

My 2004 Max doesn't heat up while at idle. Works fine when the car is driving or RPM's are up when revved up. Anyone else have this issue before?

Have you ever flushed your cooling system? It could be a blocked heater core. I'd start with a good flush. If you go to NAPA, they have a cleaner that you can add to the radiator prior to doing the flush that will help clean it out, I can't think of the name off of the top of my head.

This is a fairly common problem. There is a specific TSB out for this.

Check coolant level. Mine was doing the same. It was low I added coolant. Drove it around. Added some more. Problem solved.
