I bled the system and wheb doing so I found that the lower radiator hose doesn't get warm at all...the upper gets hot...sign of a bad thermostat or should it be that way?

 

after keeping the RPMs at 2000 for 5 minutes, both hoses (upper and lower radiator) are hot. and both core hoses are hot...

 

go drive the car for like 5 miles and see if the temp. drops like see if the gauge drops lower and see if the heater changes formn kinda warm to completely cold...
if so then replace the thermostat.. its not hard to. just buy the thermostat the o-ring and get the RIGHT coolant its synthetic pink coolant NOT orange and not green lol pink and mix it 50/50 and watch out for coolant dumping on your face when you break out that thermostat.

 

when the car is just idling, the air is just a little warm, but only out of the vents down by the feet, out of the dash its always cool/cold. and after driving, its the same....as far as the air temp in the car

 

also, i have the thermostat already. i should be able to get this from underneath right? i have seen on another thread, people talking about taking off the front bumper which i think is just redicilous

 

the front bumper isnt hard to take off.
but i suggest to just take of the belly pan. and work your way around it.. its on the driver side very bottom.. if you know where the water pump is you are good.
