: just remove the hoses at the firewall and blast water through one or the other pipes until the water comes out clean. Hopefully this will work instead of having to remove and replace the core.
: "oh k I am going to need some help with this cause I have never done that before where do I put the hose the part under the dash and where exactlly is the heater core please help!!! thanks"
: : :...with a hose worked for me just last weekend! I had no heat until I disconnected the hoses at the core and ran the garden hose through it. First came brown thick sludge, but it eventually ran clear. It's been working great since. Be careful, though, because if what's plugging up the core is also plugging up some holes in the core, you'll end up with water on your floor board. Good luck! -Doug
: : : Well....you could put a water hose to one hose and blow it out. Look at the water to see if anything comes out with it. Also watch the flow rate. :o)

: : : : The heater core is the problem? I was only guessing from past experiance...
