Also, can you change where this hot air is getting blown to (ie defrosters, vents, floor) ?

thanks for the pic imidazol, that'* just what i needed. found the actuator no problem. watched the door move (very, very slow and stopped about half way). replaced the vac hose (cut and splice to keep the stock end). didn't help much so i pushed that little piece of alumimun out of the end now it works perfect. thanks again.
still have heat issues but i noticed that when laying on the floor with the hush panels out and the engine running, i could just feel heat all over the floor, my head got pretty hot. it wasn't coming out of the vents, could it just be coming thru the firewall? i thought that'* what the firewall was for. any knowledge on this?
oh, and yes i know the little piece i push out of the hose is supposed to be there to slow things down, but i just don't understand why

OK, I think i know what'* happening, but i don't know why. I'll try to explain without sounding like an idiot so bare with me.
In the morning, everything is cool, no hot air at all.
After the car warms up, the heat starts, it is coming through the vents because the air mix door open to hot all by itself, temp still set on 60.
If i turn the car off and back on while it'* still warm, the actuator resets like usual (all hot then to all cold) then move to wide open heat regardless the temp setting.
So in a nutshell, the airmix door will not close to cold after the car warms up. i'm so confused.
also the boost gauge pegs to +10 after the car warms up and won't work again until the car cools completely down.
Do i have some electrical problems??? Please help.
