Hey everyone, Im trying to figure out how to get heat in my 240. This is what i found that would relate to my problem, because my thermostat is working properly,my coolant level is fine, and my heater core is notm plugged because i blew it out and still do not have any heat.

1. Place temperature lever to max hot setting. Disconnect temperature control cable from blend air-door lever.
2. Pull heater valve control rod in direction to obtain .08" (2.0mm) clearance between ends of rod and link lever. Connect Rod to door lever. Check operation of air mix door.
3. Push temp control cable and air mix door lever in direction of arrow. Install Retaining clip.

My question is, where is this located, and if the heater control valve is sticking, this is what will fix it? Thanks

mine is located at the toe of my foot when its on the clutch on my S14 Silvia. So look for it just above/to the right of your throttle pedal.
