THE HEATER CORE IS BAD AND WAS LEAKING ANTIFREEZE IN THE CAR, A FRIEND OF MIND UNPLUG THE HOSES AND USED ANOTHER HOSE TO CONNECT THEM, BUT NOW IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR IS OVER HEATING. WHAT SHOULD I DO? ALL FLUIDS HAVE BEEN CHECKED.

as long as theirs no kink or abstruction then that should work. I would let the car completly cool and remove the radiator cap. check to see if its full. Sounds to me like an air pockett?

I work at a Mitsu dealership. Trust me ints not fun!!! You start by removing the steering column, entire dashboard, cross bar, evacuate the refridgerant, remove the hvac box. And its located in the box. its an 8 hour job at the least. If your not use to this kind of work please save urself the missury. I hate doing them its terrible.
