  • Have No Heat

    If anyone can help I have been working on my buddys 1994 Trans AM 5.7L, I thought that his thermostat was stuck open so I changed it. Now he has little more heat than before but my question is what else can be causing his car not to have heat, and also when he accelerates he loses his heat..........Please Help
    Things done so far: New Thermostat, New Radiator,Coolant 50/50 mix Air was bleeded out of system

    Could have a clogged heater core.

    Is he having cooling problems?

      Check the vacuum driven components on your AC system.

        Flush the radiator. When you changed the stat you got air in the system. flush and bleed the system.

            Seriously, check the vacuum controlled side of the hvac system. There is a door in the duct system that is usually moved by a vacuum controlled actuator. This door determines whether or not air passes through the heater core. You may have a dry rotted fitting that is seeping vacuum, and the actuator/door may not be functioning correctly.

The most likely location for a vacuum leak that will cause this type of problem: in the lines to or from the vacuum reservior. GM uses very thin, stiff, spagetti line. It can be replaces with the regular rubber line; the fitting match.
