This could be a couple of things 1 would be that all the air didnt get bled out of the coolant system and 2 the blades on the water pump could be wore to a point where as you drive they can move the water around but as the water pump slows(idling) it does have enough to move the coolant. hope this helps

Heater stopped working loss of coolant and rough Idle

I had a similar experience. Finally the car started overheating. Turned out the thermostat went bad and the radiator blew a leak. Had those replaced. Runs great.

97 chrysler town and country heater not working at idle

Try checking to make sure your thermostat is working. They are cheap and easy to replace, wouldn't hurt to just get a new one.

2003 mazda 6 heater has stopped working

Air Temperature Control Blend Door Failure No Heat or no AC (dependes on where door sticks)

In all modern cars there is a tiny DC electric motor driven gear drive that moves a plastic door that blends heated and cooled air from the AC and the heater core, this is called (interestedly enough) the air temperature control blend door actuator. The motor that moves this door fails because the door starts sticking from warping, most common complaint is no heat but it can be no AC as well. To replace these parts (blend door and blend door actuator) you must remove the entire dash from the car. Always have this problem confirmed by a dealer or qualified repair shop as it is a very expensive repair.

Other causes of no heat in the cabin are engine thermostats that are stuck open (engine runs cold) or air bubbles in the cooling system.

My 2001 mazda protege started to make a very loud noise when idleing and even louder when the fan kicks on. Today I was driving and began to smell something hot ,looked down and my ar was overheating. I...

remove the thermostat and place in a pan of water a boil and wait to see if the thermostat opens , as for the noise , get the thermostat sorted out and see if still makes the noise , could just have been caused by the overheating, one thing at a time so you know what the problem is

neither am i to be truthful ,but a lot of vehicles have the thermostat in a housing on the side of the block that the bottom connects to so yes you could be right here,a lot of VW vehicles have the stat in the bottom hose.temporary fixya solution is too put some card in front of rad say 2/3 and this will make the heater work till you find the thermostat,When you change it dont forget to use neat antifreeze rather than a solution .You will not hurt anything .

No heat in a 98 Mazda Protege

See what your rad fan is doing with setting at heat, not defrost. It should only come on when temp gauge gets up around operating temperature.
