heater core	Sign In

i have a 93 pontiac grand am se 3.3 liter, my heater core took a dump so i replaced it, my problem is im not sure if i hooked it up right ( i forgot which hose went where) is there any pictures out there some one can send me or give me a link to ? if ur in the car we hooked up the hose on the right to the upper pipe which i believe is pipe one and the left side of the heater core to the lower pipe which i believe is pipe 3, am i right? we started the car and let it get warm and the heater core got hot, im having trouble with the car being real sluggish, so i dont know if its from the hoses being wrong or if its just being sluggish, before we did the core my car was running sluggish when i hit the gas it didnt really want to go unless i feathered the gas, sometimes if i let it warm up for a minute it would run better, but still sluggish, but im more worried about the heater core right now,if ur in the car what hose goes to what pipe ? i really need help on this before i put the dash back together, there is a upper pipe and a lower pipe coming off the block, i dont remember how they were when i took the off and could really use some help, or even pics,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,thank you very much.........Dennis, from milwaukee, wi

It will work either way. One side effect of having them wrong sometimes is you may hear gurgling water in the dash.
