on my 1994 ford explorer with a 6 cylinder motor,I blew out a heat diverter valve which attaches to the
heater core. there is a vacuum hose which attaches to the valve. when run the engine, i get no heat and the valve does not allow the fluid into the heater core. does this thing run on a thermostat somewhere and if so, where is it?

Just remove it for the winter, then replace in the summer for colder A/C...Plug the vacuum line after removal!
