so its getting cold here in AZ
believve it or not...it was mid 30 this am

My SDL has little or no heat!
I have searched the archives and after messing whith my pump and monovalve i find this:
the valve clunks when I put 12v to it and the motor wirrs when I do the same.
It seems theres no ground to the valve so i attached a wire that when the car is calling for heat I get a spark on the ground wire to earth.

Weird cause i read that the valve defaults to OPEN. and only gets 12v when needing to shut off?

Could there be a flap in the cabin thats not moving?
everything else seems to function right...the vent to the floor is open when its calling for heat and everytyhing else seems proper but still get luke warm air at the most!

I even 1/2 blocked the radiator with cardboard yesterday (OLD PA. TRICK) to get the eng temp above 80 with no results!

I really am trying NOT to remove the valve and pump cause it looks like a 4letter job! @#$% LOL!

any advise would be GREATLY appreciated.
