Hey guys...Killer site!

1st question (of likely many as the car had been sitting for about 5 years).

I just had a clutch job done and cleaned her up for the Turkey day run ('bout 200 miles to get used to her again).

When I turned on the heat (manually to 90, full fan, vent and floor setting) the floor vents were kicking out warm as were the door vents for the windows. The dash vents were blowing cold air even after an hour of driving. I switched it through all the other options (floor, floor defogger etc etc) and returned it to the floor/vent position to have the same occurance. I also swapped between fresh air & recirculate to no avail..

It's f'n cold out and I'd like to deal w/ this issue ASAP. Any ideas?


Thanks in advance guys.

PS If it's pertinent, the defroster vents also blow plenty warm. And, the coolant level looks good in the resevoir.

I was guessing that the 'down' position would close off the outside air (or whichever way wasn't the blue one). It does have the climate control option but I was bypassing that and doing everything manually.

Some jackass broke into the car and stole my CD changer AND the owners manual for some dumb reason...uggh.

Anyone ever had sticky dash vent flapper issue? Is it a tough thing to deal with?

Thanks for the reply.

hmmm...I'm going out for a bit...I'll test that. I wasn't guessing that there was an order of things. One of those instances where the owners manual would come in handy.

Thanks
