Default heater

got a heater problem. It's a auto climate control type, everything seems to work except no heat blows out. Maybe a valve not working, where do I start to look. Also, doesn't seem like a lot of air in the fresh air mode either. Is there an outside filter?
HELP
thanks phadley

No cabin air filters that I'm aware of. Pull your codes and paying attention to the HVAC codes. My first thought is the plastic vacuum line that comes from the rear of the intake manifold, runs down by the back of the battery and into the firewall, which feeds the controller valves for the hvac. You might want to follow that as best as you can to insure its not cracked or broken.

If you haven't done so you may also want to post in the Tech Forum. You may get additional input there. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
