s13 heat issues (ka24de)

[murderrsiren]

i have a stock ka24de and when its cold my car doesnt heat up, or the temp gauge doesnt show, and the heat doesnt work. buttt when the motor is under strain, i.e. if i go out sliding then the temp gauge will show the temp being around normal operating temp, and the heat works. How can i fix this to get heat ALL the time.

always keep your motor under strain. problem solved.

but seriously. is your thermostat plugged in?
