Question -
My 1988 TownCar will blow air but, no heat. I am a novis
mechanic. Can this be repaired without going to the shop?
Also, Could this be a heaterbox door problem? I recently
had a waterpump, thermostat and smog pump installed.
Thank you
Answer -
WHY was the thermostst replaced ?. Did you have HEAT prior to changing the thermostat ?.
The car was overheating all of the time and leaking lots of water. So I paid a mechanic to
change thermostat. No I did not have heat prior to changing thermostat.

AnswerWhen a vehicle overheats the weak spot is the head gasket area between the combustion chambers and the coolant chambers. This overheating usually most always breaks the seal between these 2 chambers and thus causes combustion chambre pressure into the coolant chambers which will CEASE coolant flow.
A coolant system pressure test using special equipment si required here.
