ecu location?

[Ed Kellock]

Is there any way to service he heater valve?  It sounds like I simply have a
bad one and should replace it regardless.
 
I'll dig in and find the info about the climate control lines in one of
those manuals, etc.
 
Thanks!
 
Ed

It should hold vacuum into the heater valve. There is a diaphram in it, and
if it's leaking that's what is bad. It should only hold vacuum into the
system under certain conditions. When the valve gets vacuum, it closes off
the coolant. However, when it's not getting vacuum, the passageway is opened
at the controler (in front of the glove box) so that the vacuum that was
holding the valve closed can be released. Otherwise, even after the source
of vacuum is removed teh vacuum in there would continue to hold the valve
closed.
 
However, I would check the line that feeds the cc, fromt eh engine. Also, it
sounds like one of the flap controlers or lines may be bad. There are
several in there, that go from the controler to the flaps. If you want to
check them, pull that controler down a bit to access the lines, and start
testing with the mityvac. You should be able to find where each goes by
color in the manual, but I'm not 100% sure about that. If it's not in the
200 manual, try the V8 manual.
 
HTH,

Thanks Tony.
 
I found it and did my troubleshooting.  My email posted hours late because
it was held by the spam filter or whatever.  
 
I'm investigating a hissing sound behind/under the dash toward the passenger
side that I varies in intensity with boost level.
 
I've tested everything with the Mityvac and the only thing that doesn't hold
a vacuum is the heater valve and whatever it connects to on the other end.
 
I tested the ecu hose right from the T off the intake manifold.
I tested from that same point to the fuel pressure regulator.
Under the plenum there's the white and black vacuum lines for the climate
control.
 
The white one appears to only control the heater valve and it would not hold
a vacuum. Should it?
 
Should it hold a vacuum going the other way, into the CC system?
 
Thanks!

Where is the ECU in the 200q20v?

Left side or right side passenger footwell?
