This is what happens when someone jumps into a thread and hijacks it. Sorry about that.

Portcqb, please restrict your comments/questions to the problem at hand. You have already torn this thread WAY off topic once, do not do it again.

 

Does your heat work or does it seem like its plugged? I'm guessing to get bubbles out of the core you would need to flush it out. It seems like it should get out on its own though.

 

The heater seems to work fine, the air conditioning just stopped working but I figure that is just old age and it is one of the only things I cannot do myself. Anyone know a good air conditioning shop in San Jose?
The gurgling has surprised, in that I cannot get it to stop. I cannot remember ever changing the heater core or flushing it. I’ll try the flush as soon as I get a chance, along with doing the trouble shooting for the AC.
Again today the car seems to be running better around town, better acceleration and easy starting. Regardless of the out come I’m already convinced that pulling all the sensors periodically and cleaning them is a good idea. I also drive a 2001 ¾ ton 4WD Suburban with 110k and think maybe I’ll clean the sensors on it as well.
For the next 2 weeks I’ll be doing a 90 mile drive twice a day so the minor mileage driving around town will not tell me anything.

As with the racing forum I belong to the help here is so impressive. People just helping each other, makes you feel really good.

Maybe try some seafoam? I've heard really good things about it and among many other things its supposed to help with gas mileage. http://www.seafoamsales.com/
