Don't recall if the cable leading to the heater control valve is manually activated with the climate control knob or if it's motor driven.....been a while since I've tinkered with an S14...

Anyhow, have you tried lubing the cable by the heater valve??? It sometimes has a tendency to stick. If that's not the problem then check to see if the cable is still connected in the cabin or if the motor controlling the heater valve is functioning when activated. You'll need a Factory Service Manual (FSM) to diagnose the problem. Use the SEARCH function here on Zilvia to find a link to a FSM..

Hope this helps....
