THE TEMP GUAGE GOES ALL THE WAY OVER TO H.
THE HEAT BLOWS COLD AND THE RED OVERHEATING LIGHT IS COMING ON.
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? PLEASE IF YOU CAN HELP US, WE DONT KNOW IF IT IS THE THERMOSTAT OR HEAT CORE.

heater core has nothing to do with engine over heated .run the engine with rad cap opened until cooling sys circulate ( to bleed air out ) . see if the thermostat open ?
