You've got a vacuum hose leaking that opens heat baffle when manifold pressuse falls,ie at an idle or slowing down,it has nothing to do with the heater itself,it's a vacuum leak. Replies to this message: sammycastagna (Mar 08, 2009 12:20 pm)

Replying to: dlm1954 (Mar 04, 2009 6:44 am) I had all the vacuum lines replaced and checked out by dealer still would not heat correctly. I took a water hose and flushed out the heater core and back flushed into the engine. I do not know if there was a piece of trash in there somewhere or what. But now I have 140 degree F heat and AC is 39 degrees F on max. I took it back to the dealer Friday and got them to unblock vacuum on my heater control valve. In my opinion the dealer did a sloppy job. Thanks for your reply; Sammy Castagna
