Replace the thermostat and fill the radiator while is fully warm and idling feel the heater hoses it should be the same temperature-don't work come on back

Dunno yet till you check the thermostat-if its not the thermostat or heater core -its problably an air mix/blend/mode door problem or vacuum/actuators-HVAC control module.

I understood that fixing heater core is costly and thermostat is cheap. How's about repairing other stuffs you suggested? Are they costly too? Let says problem is heater core. Roughly how much do I have to spend heater core this car model(93 mercury sable)? Thanks!
