Ill guess either the blend motor is acting up or could the hot air just be outside air from the hood area?
Thanks. It is more than just hot air from hood area imo. It comes in hot..like it is 75-85F outside and the air temp coming from the vents is significantly hotter. It is legitimately hot air and at all speeds for the most part. If the the heater core is always circulating coolant then it has to be that the air is coming across it while hot. I thought it only opened when called.
