Heating Trouble...Help!!!

[86gt]

My cars heater will not work, I can let it idle for 25-30min. and the temp gauge barely goes up, and the radiator cap is cool to touch and also the radiator hose is cool. But when I drive the needle on the gauge is touching the "a" in NORMAL and sometimes in the "L". Still even with it almost overheating barely any heat?????How can I tell it is really hott?? I replaced the thermostat about a year ago. I never really heat in her, I rarley drive it. Stays in the garage. I also have plenty of antifreeze.

Check your waterpump? Thermostat might be bad? Those are the only two things I can think of. Im leaning towards even bad rad, or waterpump, because if everything is cool to touch you aren't getting any flow through anything, which would also be why its overheating while driving... Check the waterpump for sure..... Maybe the Rad and thermostat after....

I might change the water pump and see what happens. Thanks

Sounds like thermostat is stuck open.
