Engine light on and no heat on driver's side.

First, if you get heat on one side and not the other, the heater is working. The problem is related to what is called a blend air door. On vehicles with dual climate control, there are two blend doors. The door's function is to determine if you get heat or AC in the vehicle based on its position. Based on your description, one is not working. As a result, the actuator could be bad or it could be stuck. I hate to say it, but it is a major job to access. Most of the dashboard needs removed to access it. Eight hours sounds about right. Will that stop the vibration? I doubt it. However, the TCC is a concern for a vibration. The torque converter, if engaging OD too soon can cause it. The C1244 tells me the RPM's may be dropping too low and that can cause a vibration.

As far as the "gasket cover" has me confused. Are they refering to the valve cover gasket? Also, if you replace them, it would be an easier time to replace the plugs, but you don't have to. I don't know how many miles are on the vehicle or when they were last replaced, so it is hard to say if they should be replaced.

One last thing. The fact the engine doesn't warm up properly is setting other codes. If the t-stat was replaced, it still may be bad. The thermostat shouldn't fully open until 195°F. If it doesn't warm up, the t-stat is opening too soon and staying open. Otherwise, the engine would heat up. Pay attention to the cooling fans. Make sure they are not turning on. They shouldn't turn on until aprox 215°F. If they turn on, they will cause the engine to cool down quicker.

The heat in that vehicle is controlled by a blend door that regulates heated air flow. It is operated by an electric motor/actuator. The problem can be that the actuator is stripped or inoperative or the door itself could be damaged. This is what needs to be determined by examining the actuator and see if it is responding to heat change commands or not.

Feel the 2 heater hoses coming into the firewall. If they are both hot to the touch, then the issue is definitely n the blend doors.

I sounds like you may simply have a thermostat that is stuck open. What does the engine temperature read, lower than it should?

Your vehicle has 2 blend doors. Have you checked to see if both heater hoses are hot?

Did you put used computers in?

So the heat worked and defroster before replacing the computers?Also thats strange to have to replace two computers at the same time.

Was the polarity correct when the charger was hooked up?Also did the heat work before the battery was charged?Has the ac computer been scanned for codes yet?

Check your actuators, generic pic enclosed.
