Monovalve Issues (I think)
Lately I've been having an issue about getting heat while the car is at any sort of speed. The heat works perfect at idle in the driveway, but when I increase the rpm's to anything over 1800, the heat gradually fades away to cool air. Sometimes the heat will return when at idle....sometimes not. I believe the ACC is working correctly as it cycles the vents and changes the temperature of air properly while at idle. The aux pump is also working correctly at idle ( I can feel it running with no vibration....nice steady hum.)
In checking the monovalve, I can hear and feel it clicking with selector in full cold. Conversely there is no audible click with full hot selected, although there is a very, very slight electrical vibration (barely detectable).
This spring, I had an issue with the monovalve. I was getting full hot all of the time. The rubber diaphragm was ripped. A repair kit solved that problem, but I did notice that there was some corrosion inside of the valve itself. I am wondering if this corrosion could be the cause of my current issues.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
