After driving for half hour or so, there is tremendous engine heat that flows thru the vents as if the heat is on. The temperature gauge does not move, and I know its working because a belt broke a few weeks ago causing overheating, and it worked. I took it to the mechanic who said the thermostat is fine. I never had a radiator flush, could that be the problem? The radiator isn't overly hot, just the entire engine.
