Default Crazy Heater Question...LOokie!!!

O.K. since the supercharger install when the heater is on and I accelerate the heater stops blowing!! When i idle down to a steady rpm it blows? What gives?
Anyone ever heard of this? If I punch it to the floor it stops blowing until i lift off the gas?
??????????????
Thanks
Scott :reddevil

You have vakuum controled doors to route the air thru the heater core - or not. It souds like you have a bad check valve on the vacuum hose. With boost instead of vacuum the doors will move to the oposite location.

i'm pretty sure it did that before you got the s/c, at least that's the way the a/c works, when you stomp on the gas, the a/c stops blowing at full blast to relieve stress from the engine to give you the most power possible...i would guess the heater worked the same way, but i'm not for sure :D

The heater is just an electical fan blowing air thru a small radiator with hot engine coolant. I see no reson to turn that off during WOT.
