Heater problem
Heater problem
I gotta prob with my MX-3, my fan motor is working (can hear it running on all speeds), but if I have the flow through switch on, only cold air blows through in the winter, if I switch it to recirculate, the air blows hot, but my windows fog up immediately. I had the heater core flushed b4 i bought it, and replaced the thermostat recently, still no help. wat can i do, wat cud b the problem?

How can the heater core be toast if heater blows hot air on recirc? Are you not just closing the outside air intake when on recirc? Unless Cyko is getting warm rather than "hot" air on recirc. Wild guess - air locks in cooling system?

anybody know if there is an cabin filter in the car?
was thinking maybe he doesn't have one, and too much air getting into the cabin, and not being able to heat it up fast enough.

Re: Heater problem
Well, I just took out the passenger side panel (17):

Took a peek inside and found what seems like a cabin filter, no ideia how to access it. I have a 92, so every mx3 should have this.

Re: Heater problem
Thermostat, 25% of new ones are bad, letting to much water through, get an expensive one &/or test it.
you will thank me later

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.
