Camry heat?

[jltimm]

My wifes 95 Camry is heating, but not like it used to. If I let it sit and idle for 20 minutes it will be blowing hot air, then once on the road the temp. comes down and the heat is just warm.Coolant level is ok, I'm questioning the thermosatat? Is it possibly stuck open, or 'am I way off on this guess?

Thermostat is a good possibly. If it has never been replaced, its at least an inexpensive first step to elimate that possibility.

Yep, it is the original one with over 200,000 miles on it. Cost is only $4.99, so that's what I was thinking.

That would be a good start.

What does your coolant temp gauge say after you let it idle, before you start to drive it. If it is past half way mark then go ahead and change the thermostat
