    hi i own a 2000 Tiburon 4cyl 16valve DOHC with 123 000 KM or 73000 mi i
    think.. i live in canada so its -20/-30°C outside.. my car usually takes
    10-15 minutes to heat up to normal temperature (the gauge on the dash goes
    to normal) but now it only takes 1-2 minutes to get to normal (but doesnt
    pass the normal mark) also the fans dont work.. i turn on the forced air
    to "4" (the highest) and nothing comes out.. (i need it to defrost the
    windows and prevent condensation which kinda make me drive blind lol) i
    already cheked the leves of antifreeze and engine oil and everything i
    could think of.. anyone has an idea of what could be the problem ? maybe
    the thermostat or something?
    thanks

    Do you mean no air comes out or only cold air comes out? If it's the
    former, you likely have one common problem. You'll need to perform an
    audit of the cooling system operation. This means you'll need to check
    the level of the coolant in the radiator as well as verify that the
    coolant flows and the fans operate when the coolant reaches the proper
    temperature. You shouldn't drive the vehicle until you get this sorted
    out. Depending on the situation, your engine could run hot without the
    gauge indicating such, and result in damage to the engine.

    If you mean that no air blows, you'll also need to check the blower fan
    circuit.
