Default heating problems

I have a 40th anniversary edition corvette and the heater won't heat up unless the car is in traffic. The car has an automatic climate control and while traveling on the highway the only heat generated comes from the transmission tunnel , the vents only blow tepid air. The car at highway speeds runs at 184 degrees and in town at 200-210. I would appreciate any advice that could be given. Please help I'm cold :crazy:

I dunno if it will help, but here's what I always post on these no heat threads:

if not, try the hot water vlave or the little flap-door in the heater core box.
And welcome to the forum!! :cheers: glad ya could join.

Paul, Are those resistors in a 93? If so where are they?

I had a similar heat problem, flushing the heater core with clean water and then compressed air about a dozen times corrected the problem
