    Hi everyone,

    I have a 98 Dodge Stratus and it's not that cold where I am, but I
    haven't had this car in the winter before this winter. I would like to
    ask anyone if this problem has ever arisen - it takes some time for my
    heater to heat up. It won't get hotter if the car is idle either. The
    car will only heat up if it is in motion. Is there anything I can do to
    remedy this problem?

    Thanks a lot,
    Justin

    The engine will heat up faster if its under a load, at idle there is no
    load. The first thing you need to check is the proper coolant level, if
    its low it will do exactly what you are experiencing
