No, not the engine temp, that is running as it normally does.

On the way home from the PDS last Sunday I had the "mystical vent controls" set as I normally do. By the way I call them that because the various sliding positions make little sense to me. I fiddled with them until I could get fresh outside air when turning on the vent blower, shortly after buying the car and have basically left them there. Anyway, back to the story. As we drove home the air outside was fairly cool and I rolled up the windows so Kari and I could talk It got a bit warm so I turned on the blower only to find that very warm air was comming out of the vent. I could get it hoter, but never could just get the outside air as normal. I slid the adjustments to various positions to no avail and we finally gave up and rolled down the windows to overcome the warm air coming in even after the blower was shut off.

Any ideas?

**update** Right after posting this I was on ebay and saw a 944 listing where the guy mentioned haveing had "the clip fixed that lets in warm air".

Ideas?

Thanks all.

$5.00 plastic piece behind cylinder head against firewall and $30.00 worth of first aid supplies and problem solved. There is a plastic valve with a cable attached to it in the water line coming from engine, other end of cable is one of the mystical sliders. This commonly breaks on 924S/944 cars

+1 I think there is a Pelican website tech bulletin on how to change this bugger out. It does happen all the time.

if you dont feel like messing with it you could just reach down and move it manually. its a tight area, hopefully you dont have any jobs lined up with the Hand Modeling Agency!

Nope...but...well about 40% of my employment comes from playing the guitar, so I will be careful!
