Have a 2003 Ford Taurus, 3.0 liter engine, single overhead cam. No heat. Changed thermostat. Core not leaki

No heat with the Taurus. No leaking with the heater core. What's my problem and solution?

the core can be clogged

Flush heater core with pressurerized water or air,then remove temp control knob not out and look to see if not cracked,then blend door actuator if moving.HTH.
Clogged heater core. Undo hoses to and from and use a hose o flush it out. My 2000 Taurus had this problem.



Or there is another problem with them that the diverter door warps. New ones are apparently a slightly different design that does not warp.
Make sure the radiator is not low.
No single overhead cam Taurus engines.. only Overhead valve (aka 2 valve or vulcan) and a 3.0 DOHC (dual overhead cam)



If core not leaking or plugged and no restrictions (feel both sides of heater hose.. both will be hot after running for a while...



Make sure vehicle has cooling system bleed out of air (after awhile upper hose will be hot) and if still no fix, most likely blend door motor behind the radio has stripped the gears on it's electric motor gearing and hince no heat..requiring a replacement of the part to get heat back
