i hope someone can help me with this, when i have the heat on it only blows out cold air, it doesn't matter what i turn the temp up to. the only thing i know that is different is that when i turn the car on, the # on the heater control will flash a couple of times then it would stay constant. is this telling me what is wrong? do i just count out how many times it flashes?

93 was the last year of on board diagnostics of the ECC panel. It'* telling you that you have a stored code. You cannot pull those codes yourself from the panel. I'm betting you have a code stored for the airmix actuator. You may want to dig in there and see if the door is stuck, and why.

it couild be the thermostat isn't opening corectly which would cause it not to heat up. Also your heater core could be going bad...

You need to take the car to the dealer and have them pull the climate control codes. I bet your temperature mix door or the actuator are broken.

thanks guys, i will check to see if i can just open the door for the heater core.the thing is when i first turn it on, heat comes out but then it starts to blow cold like the door was open and them closes because it is getting the wrong reading, i cleaned out the senser that is next to the lighter on the dash but nothing change.

the coolent is good, i just change the radiator about 2 months age. the level is good, there is no smell or fluid in side the car so the heatercore should be good and i don't have to add any fluid since the change.

I would bet there'* nothing wrong with the sensors, but only pulling the codes will tell.
