86 4runner 22re no heat
Well today was the first good cold morning we have had so I hop in and take off toward school, the engine gets warm so I flick on the heat. No heat! I pull over and both heater hoses are gettin hot ( 170) and the heater control valve is opening all the way. The fan runs and I can hear/see the blender door arm moving, and hear the blender door. So my question is is there a common problem with these?? Besides the more than likely stopped up core?

The painful part of heater work is pulling the dash, though not the hardest pay close attention to the routing of climate control over the brace as I broke one by miss routing. Going slow for first time and being really careful might take 30-40 min.
Sounds like something is clogged you know the heater core get all kinds of crap in it. I good flush might work.
You said fan is running but is it blowing air? maybe a rodent built a nest in heater that is blocking airflow.

There was a really good write up a couple months back by someone who cleaned out a bunch of crap. He found all kinds of nasty-Ness in there. His was a/c though. Would blow cold but hardly any air.
I dunno. Food for thought.

yea I've seen that problem. I've got it soaking now trying to clean it up. I'm gonna flush it very well. It did run slightly hot this morning but got back down to regular temp quick. Never got in the red but got warmer than I would like.
