Hey mpj76:
When I turn the knob for hot/cold I can feel the air get cooler or warmer. I can also "hear" the baffle opening or closing. But your idea that it's only partially opening sounds logical. What's a good way to test this or find/fix it?

The thermostat is something I'm going to look into. Maybe it's constantly open, not allowing the engine to fully warm up? Something else I noticed is it appears to be running cooler than normal.

If the heater core is blocked, is this an easy fix? Will it be found in a Chilton's manual?

Thanks again.
Justin
