Follow the coolent lines out of the fire wall and see if the valve operates when you turn on the heat. It is most likely the blend door. My '87 has a blend door problem and I finally figured out how to ge it to work. I just make a quick turn and the heat comes on, LOL! Mech259 will be along shortly and he will have the right answer. Hang in there and wear some warm clothes. Good luck with it. Cheers

...shark,
I HAD to comment on the "quick turn" to turn the heat on in your car. Yes! LOL for sure...Expecting a reply on a serious note, you really caught me off guard. Us "car guys" come up with and end up in the damnedist vehicle remedies and situations... I had a '64 VW Bug in high school w/ a rotted front passenger side floor just behind the front wheel. (from the tire kicking up salt in the winter.) Driving around in the rain would cause the passenger floor to fill with water. After a rainy night of beer drinking ie; after a hockey game, in the morning on the way to school when I would top a hill and start going down hill, the water would rush forward from the rear and the person riding shotgun would be ankle-deep in water and floating beer bottles and cans, unless they were hip to my ride. A great car for picking up unsuspecting snobby girls, which happened a number of times. Although, I'd always offer to drive them home for a quick change of shoes, socks and pants. I WAS known as a very considerate young man. LOL.

!!! LONG LIVE THE INFAMOUS ENDEAVORS OF THE AUTO ENTHUSIAST !!!
