check the two hoses going into the firewall and see if they are HOT. if not, or if only one is hot, you will have to change the thermostat, cause it will be stuck.

check the two hoses going into the firewall see if they are really hot don't burn yourself if they are both hot then your thermostat should be okay but if one is warm and one is hot then your thermostat is most likely stuck
