My car has 153,000 miles on it very well kept up, the dealer told me to replace the radiator hoses and thermostat, my car worked fine and blew great heat into the car before replacing, (i had no problems), I rplaced the thermostat and hoses and now the cars engine does not get hot and blows ok heat while reving the engine but then cool as soon as your not on the gas. What is the problem, I tryed 2 different thermostats neither working so its not stuck open....HELP?

Why did the dealer told you to replace the Stat and Hose-for what reason?is it because you're not warm enough.Hmmm....

Take the thermostat back out and check whether you're getting warmer.No difference-check the heater contol valve-partial clogged heater core.

Replaced Thermostats are they correct temperature
Try reflushing the radiator again
