Okay, while Pucci and I were installing springs last night we noticed I have an coolant leak. :( I belive it was on the bottom drivers side of the engine had a bit of coolant.

I also noticed last night when I got home from Pucci's (20 minute drive) that my temp gauge only read 100 and the fan was going. I came in to work today and same thing, I opened the hood and the engine was a very little bit warm after running for a half hour. :rolleyes:

oh, I do have heat coming out of the vents.

any ideas?

It sounds suspiciously like the tempature sensor to me (the coolant leak is another issue)... I can't be sure without more info though. Does the heater feel very warm? Is the coolent full? ALSO - Stupid question I know, but did you have the defrost or the air conditioner on at all?

for the coolant leak... have someone check it out! i had a leak in my cooling lines and it solved 98% of the leak. (2% is being i have a 1995 GA with high miles).

for the temperature... check the sensor. like craig said... that sounds like a sensor is failing.

Check the temperature sensor, and maybe even the T-stat. Usually when there's no heat it is something simple like a thermostat.
