Well, before i complain, i must say how well my car did on our 6hour each way, trip to maine went. Even with no aux fan, 80degree temps and the AC on, it seemed to not skip a beat.
BUT, what i did notice is that my center vents blow cold air, but my feet and defrost blow boiling hot air. But it gets weirder. If i set the defrost vents with just the "up" vent position, then the drivers side blows moderately warm air and the passenger blows scorching hot air. If i use the defrost function, the defrost vents are "warm" at the best and my passenger side right hand middle vent blows scorching hot air.
The feet always have rediculously hot air all the time, not matter the setting.
So i found this thread here, but i see it has no resolve. I read Q suggests to move the dial "warmer" but i havent tried it yet.

this is all with the temp set to 60degrees F
seems like i have a faulty HCV. I hope my 6/96 parts car is the same as my 2/98 daily

A quick search shows that the valves are the same from 3/96 on. So looks like im good.
Ill report back with a solution. I got a vaca day from work today. What better way to spend it then working on my main B
