So i start the car, the coolant tank looks empty, almost immedetly fill back up the where it needs to be while bubbling with steam. the fans come on when needed. once heated up i get no heat. on the drivers side of the engine where the tstat is the large hose i feel no flow in it. what exactly is this hose. 98 contour 2.0
