I suspect something is wrong with your climate control panel - but keep in mind the system is complicated and that it may not solve the problem. Although rare you may have a fauly climate control temp sensor.

Does anyne know where the climate control sensor is?
Is that the solenoid in line with a heater hose near the firewall behind the exhaust?

thanks

I found this on biofuel.infopop.cc

If you pull the glovebox out you'll see a foam tube that connects to the little grill on the dash between the center vents. Follow the tube to the other end and you'll find the sensor.
