I just replaced the heater core and had the battery disconnected. it's all back together and it will not stay running. you get about five times that will start and then it will not start until the key is pulled and then you get about five more. I think that it is a security issue, I just don''t know what to do to reset this. how do i reset this?

What should the heater core inlet hose temperature be?

It sounds as if you have a blockage in your heater core itself. You can usually remove both hoses from the core at the firewall and using compressed air, blow backwards into the heater core until it is cleared. While you are there I would suggest changing the plastic elbows that come off of the engine if they have not been changed already as they are known to crack and cause problems. They are even remaking them in metal instead of the plastic.

Replaced heater core, car won't start need troubleshooting

If you changed your heater core, it has nothing to do with the car starting. Did you disconnect the battery when you did this? . The only other thing I can think of is a safety switch that won't allow the car to run if the water is low. This can happen if the system gets air locked. How did you fill the system back up? Did you hit any wires off while working on car? Did the car run fine before you changed the heater core? Let me know and we can go from there Cheers from NS Canada

How do you bypass the heater core on a 1998 Ford Bronco 2?

Disconnect both hoses from the core and one of them also from the engine. Hook the other one back to where you took one off, making a loop. The picture below is not a bronco, but gives you the idea.
By the way, your core is easy to replace. It almost pops right out from under the dash. I ahve included picture below.

Had heater disconnected...need to hook it back up. anyone know how?

There are two heater hoses, each appx. 1 inch wide, that run from the engine and hooks up to the heater core, behind your dashboard. The heater core's two connection pipes stick out from the firewall of your jeep and you have to attach the two heater hoses to those two pipes. If someone disconnected your heater, they probably just joined together the two heater hoses, that run from your engine, so now you'll have to disconnect that joining and reattach the hoses to the heater core pipes. That way, hot coolant will flow into the heater core to warm you up.

You can unhook the hoses to the core and just hook them together with a flush fitting, or hose union.
