You need to determine whether it is a coolant problem, or a temp control problem. Just CAREFULLY grab the heater hoses. They should get so hot you can't hold them. If you can hold them or if one is noticably cooler than the other, the coolant temp or circulation is the problem. If both hoses are extreamly hot, look under the dash for control problems.

Mike,
A can of Sterno should do nicely.(only kidding)if the problem is in the controls let me know .I have mine apart and have recent knowledge of the sytem in my memory (but only for a little while longer)because of age and lack of brains.
