Protege's are well known for not putting out good heat!
There are TSB about a blind casting in the head that prevents coolant flow.
http://www.alldata.com/TSB/33/91331013.html , shows the TSB but doesn't give any info. I had looked this Info up cause I was living in the Duluth area with poor heater output.
I fixed it by replacing the heater core and flushing the lines really well!!! The SOHC however puts out heat but i have noticed that in order to get a good amount of heat, Hot heat not warm heat, you have to cover part of the radiator with cardboard or some type of cover.
Do Not block the whole radiator! I had a huge improvement on the temp of the heat coming out!
Mazda has a crappy rear defrost, as rated in the consumer reports and by personal experience on 3 protege's and 3 323's!

also is the heater core responsible for the rear window defrosting? coz the defrosting seems to be very very slow... almost like nothing's happening. ?
