1988 80Q cabin heat FIXED

[Lincoln Rutledge]

I had the problem with almost nonexistent cabin heat.

Well, after a thermostat, bleeding the cooling system, and taking the
console apart and putting it back together, I finally followed Huw's
advice.

The resistance on my temperature sensor was 200 Ohms.  I removed it,
scuffed it with a wire brush (it had a good layer of corrosion on it),
and scuffed the surface it mounts to.  Put it back in the car, checked
the resistance, 2.5k Ohms, just like it's supposed to be.  Started it,
serious heat in the cabin.

So Huw, I bet your old thermostat was good.  But you probably knew that.

Thanks guys,
Linc
