[s-cars] Hot air in my face!

[Young, Steve]

I would start by cycling all the flap servos to verify operation.  You
can test the temp flap servo (under the splash pan under the hood) by
running the temp from max cool to max hot.  When cooling, air should
come out of the center dash vents, heating comes out of the upper and
lower vents, I believe.  You can test the defrost flap servo by cycling
in and out of defrost.  You can test the center vent flap servo by
cycling the up/down arrow controls over on the far right.

As far as being hot all the time, my experience has been that the A/C
charge is low, and the temp flap has no cold air to mix with the heat.
Heat is blowing from the center vents because the system is in cooling
mode and is trying to cool, but there is no cold air to be had.  The fan
never slows because the cabin temp never gets down closer to your
setpoint.

This could help....or not.  Just my $0.02.

Subject: [s-cars] Hot air in my face!

Just got my car back from Addict Motor Sports, and it pulls like a
freight train.  The headwork they did is fantastic!!!  But I am now
having trouble with the heater.  When it is on auto, it does nothing but
blow hot air n my face.  It never seems to sense that the temperature in
the car is has reached the set temperature and turn the fan down like it
used to.   It doesn't blow at full blast, but maybe halfway.  The AC
light is also on... I can't remember if that was normal.  Did it always
blow from the dash vents when it was on auto?  Seems like I never
remember the thing blowing on me, just that the car would warm up.  Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
