Car blowing only hot air???
I have a 93 RX-7, and was wondering if any of your guru's has some advice. The question is why it only blows hot air regardless if the AC is on or not. I think the heater door is stuck open, but I haven't taken anything apart yet...

I wonder if your problem is in some way related to the heat problem so many of us suffer from -- that even when the heat is on maximum and set to blow through the footwell and defrost vents, it's only marginally warm at best (despite the coolant system and motor being completely healthy).
I've suggested in the past that the actuation of the door that controls the amount of air passing through the heat exchanger may not be operating fully in either direction, resulting in neither max heat nor min heat. It could completely be possible that your heat is on while your AC is on as you say. I often feel hot air coming out of the vents with the A/C off and the heat turned all the way to off, even when the ambient temperature is low. I believe there is merit to your theory but no one has yet to provide any hard evidence.

I am going to get the gauges hooked up on it tonight, just wanted to know if it was a common problem :-(
All the fuses look good, I cannot find anything out of place. I am going to be putting a remote start on the car, so seeing as I will be under the dash anyway, i might give me the ducting a look....
