Cadillac Repair: engine, minuits, accured


Question
I recently replaced the radiator and water pump in a 1993 sedan deville in an effort to stop a anti-freez leak. the events that accured during the following days have amazed me. THE ANTI-FREEZ IS NOT LEAKING I THINK THAT IS IS BURNING. tHE DEFROST AND HEAT WORK BUT THEY BOTH ONLY SPIT OUT COLD AIR. WHAT SHOULD I DO.  

Answer
Hi Mark, So what you're saying is that the heater worked normal before the waterpump replacement but now all you get is cold air and it comes out at a normal airflow. If so then you probably have an air pocket that needs to get worked out or the anti freeze level is still low in the rad. After about 10 minuits of driving the heat should return once the anti freeze is full in the rad. It is possible that something is restricting the coolant flow through the heater core and it may need to be flushed out in both directions. Bill
