Weird start-up
I went to start up the Jeep today and here's what went down... 1. turned ignition to on and let it beep for a few seconds like I always do. 2 Turn ignition to start and my door locks lock and then unlock and the jeep sputters to a start but then levels out and all was normal. Something electrical. Any ideas?
Thanks
Thanks

Yes I do.
Today I swung by a shop and borrowed a infrared temp gun, lower hose was 160 ish, upper was 120 ish, thermostat housing was 190-215 ish if I remember correctly.
To me those seem ok, but it still doesn't explain why I have really no interior heat. I just flushed the core when I replaced the radiator. And I know the heater control valve is working, I turned on the a/c and it moved the lever. But it also is looking a little green around the bolts so it's time to delete that turd.

Delete the valve and then shoot the heater hoses where they go to the firewall with the IR.
