As soon as our 18 inches of snow clears, and temps rise above the single digits, I hope to verify the TVS (TVR??) valve, the little circular plastic job located in the air cleaner and connected directly to the air pump, amusingly shoved on several Ford products well into the 1990s, has been the culprit, as I was able to install the new one the night before the latest onslaught of snowstorms, and although covered, my poor car has to sit outside.
Has anybody encountered difficulty removing air from the heater lines when servicing the water pump? The previous owner did a lovely job replacing the water pump, until I drove the car in cold weather and discovered there was no heat! Does anybody know any easy (outside of "bleeding, hence leaking fluid out to get rid of bubbles) method to remove air in the heater lines?
Happy holidays, and thanks for the input!
