My 94 Caravan blows only cold air no matter what I set the temp for. I know
I am getting hot water thru the heater core. And, it only seems to blow out
the defroster and floor ports no matter what vents I have selected. I think
there's a problem with one or more of the vacuum powered dashpots inside the
air plenum. How can I get to these? They are all enclosed inside a self
contained A/C - heat box. Is this a common problem ??

Are you getting enough hot water?  If the core is restricted you will get
hot water but not enough to heat the air.

And if the rad is low, water flow will be minimal.

No, water is not the issue. I'm sure the door that allows air to cross the
heater core isn't opening. It's just recirculating cold air in and out. And
I always get air out of the defroster outlet, regardless of what I have
selected on the control panel

Make sure you don't have a vacuum leak - like a split hose.

the heater core is a common problem with the 1991 to 1994 caravans
flush the heater core with water in reverse
Wesley - 18 Jan 2009 20:35 GMT
Would this help a problem where it's not getting off a lot of heat except
when going over about 45mph?  My 92 Caravan doesn't get all that warm these
days.  When I'm going slow or sitting at a stoplight the heat coming out is
noticeably cooler.

Thanks,

Wesley

my 92 had the same problem i got a bottle of flush and ran it through
the entire system and flushed the heater core with water both ways and
it fixed the problem and the heat works good now try it it may work
