Mazda with only lukewarm heat. Help! Sign In

I have a 1998 Mazda 626 and have only lukewarm heat. Not only that, the temperature gauge on the dashboard barely gets above the C mark while idling. when car is moving it drops below the C mark. Heater fan doesn't seem to be as strong as it once was as well. What could be the problem? Thanks in advance

The low temp is highly consistant with a thermostat that isn't closing properly and a new one should take care of the temp issue. The fan could be a few things from the motor itself or more likely dirty such that airflow is restricted.

I doubt it but it this car uses a cabin air filter change it or just take it out for better airflow.

Get the thermostat first and while system is drained for that I'd go ahead and flush the system if it's been a while,
