Suggestions? please help, as its cold outside i would like to use my heater.

 

"Isn't not working"....so what's really wrong with it then?

Anyway, if the fan works at speeds as it should, just no heat, it sounds as if you have a blockage somewhere, be it either in the hose, the heater core, or a bad diverter valve.

If the fan doesnt work at all, that's your problem.

 

is their a way to open the heater valve?

 

Replace it. It's a cheap plastic part. Assuming it's getting vacuum...

 

I checked to see if theres vacume on the line to the heater valve and there was none.

A Coolant Bypass .

 

He want's to use his heater, not bypass it Besides, that's for the throttle body, not the heater core.

Check for vacuum at A/C set to max. Otherwise, in a pinch, you could just straight line it and plug the diverter valve hose off where it connects to the engine.

 

Thermostat stuck open?

 

You can bypass that thing. Just run the back of the intake to the inlet, and then the outlet directly to the radiator. I did mine like this. I have also seen many people do it this way. No heats will come in the car unless the fans on. MY

for proper switching. If you bypass it you will always have a little hot air coming into the driver's area in the summer.</H5><H3><P><CENTER>REFUSE

Try taking the top off the radiator and adding coolant. It works!
