Chris, I owe you a 6 pack for posting your procedure. I just followed it,
minus the air compressor portion, and I have heat again in my 98 Taurus.
What kinda beer do you drink?

And yes - that would be two six packs, one for the Guiness and one for the
Bass! (I actually posted back before I read the rest of the replies!)

Glad to hear things worked out for you. My heater will drive you out of the
car now on max temp...and it also survived another dose of stop leak to the
system to clear up a persistent slow leak I have somewhere (head gasket, I
suspect). I think when I did the stop leak trick a year ago, the heater was
well on its way to a full clog and the stop leak was the coup-de grace.
This time, no problem.

Chris,
I just got an estimate of $1500 to replace the heater core and radiator
on my 97 Sable becasue of a heater problem that sounds a lot like
yours. I am not mechanically inclined, any chance you live in MA and
are interested in some side work? I am not going to put $1500 into the
Sable but would love to give your fix a try.
