Question Car Heat

Hey guys i just bought a 1987 turbo II and the heater does not work. The fan blows inside however there is not hot air coming out just outside temp. Anyone know the problem? My friends turbo does the exact same thing as well...

It sounds like your logicon is not activating the mix motor. Do you hear a motor when you adjust the heat? Keep in mind that the heat/mix motor sounds just as loud as the fresh/recycled air motor. If you do hear the mix motor, then its a mechanical problem somewhere, check the levers and check your coolant hoses.

If you do not hear the motor it could be 2 things. Your logicon may have bad solder joints, resolder them and replace burnt components. OR the mix motor may have siezed, AND a siezed motor can harm the logicon.

A quick fix to get you by would be to unhook the mix motor and manually tie down the mix lever to the hot possition.

When I bought my tII the logicon wasnt working properly, the owner tied the lever off so he could get heat.

whats the difference between the heat/mix, and the fresh/recycled air? All I know is that one blows harder, is one better to use?

If you do change the thermostat, get a mazda one. It will be close to $14, but it is worth it. You don't wanna overheat because your thermostat doesn't open.
