[s-cars] no heat follow up

[Mark Pollan]

Just looked under hood of my S and could not locate the heater control valve
as exists in my 5KCSTQ.  I thought this might be the culprit but...  Does
this type of vacuum operated valve exist in the s-cars?  Perhaps your heat
problems are as simple as low coolant level?  Just a stab in the dark but...

On a related but different subject, I get nice warm air until the preset
temp is reached then the temperature cools down significantly.  On the
5KCSTQ the temp remains constant but the fan slows down.  I much prefer this
approach to climate control.  Is it because I always control the temp/fan
speed manually?  Meaning I never hit the Auto button.  Or is this a
"feature" of the S-cars?

Regards,

Mark Pollan

On my 86 400Q, the valve went bad inside, couldn't see it but the flap
(?) inside the valve was broken off. I bypassed teh valve for heat
until I could get a new valve (got lots of heat then...and I mean LOTS)
