Message	I don't quite understand the climate control diagnostics yet -- sufficeth to say, everything else looks like it's operating correctly (changing modes, fan speed, etc) but probably have a flap/valve motor not working. Heater blows, auto sets as it should, but only getting ambient air from the vents. Getting colder every day!!! So -- the question is -- can I manually open whatever valve it is I need to open until I have time to repair? I know this Z has them under the dash. On the 80's Z's, the heater cock was in the engine bay (operated through vacuum tube controlled by a servo) -- you could easily tie it back with a zip tie or vice-versa to help with AC/Heater operation. Wishing for those days right now...easy repair :) VISIT thumper300zx.com for PICS and TECH PAGES
