I did replace valve with a pipe because I thurgt that it didn�t open
So I can rule out the valve. And the temperature gauge goes
Up about halfway. It takes abaut 10-15 min to operation temp.
 I don't think there is any flow to the heater
But I can't figure out why. Because if the pump didn�t work properly
The engine would over heat.  I even flushed the heater and hoses.
At one time I removed the hose from the heater while the engine was
Running and the coolant just dripped out. Not poured as you would imagine.
