I am no expert here....but from what I have read, this sounds like either a vacuum leak issue or a bad door actuator.
If you are able to find the door in question, or the vac line leading to it, apply vacuum and see if your issue is resolved. If so, you either have a leak, or an actuator that needs LOTS of vacuum. I have read that replacing actuators may require dash removal. I too am chasing NO HEAT gremlins. We have record low temps, and I have NO HEAT ! Ugh ! best of luck.

Vacuum element replacement does not require dash removal.
http://www.peachparts.com/Wikka/W123HVACVacuumActuators but you do have to determine if the element is the problem. You will need a mityvac and check the elements. As well as the control unit. I would start with the elements. They are usually the problem. The mono valve was really a separate problem. That was the control of hot water flow to the heating system. The elements are control of the flow of air to the vents. Do a search on "vacuum elements". Lots written on this Dave

Probably a bad vacuum pod. Do a search on my user name and footwell vacuum pod or vacuum actuator and you should find a thread I wrote about 6 years ago describing how to replace that actuator.
