Bill,
Most of this is a little high-tech for me. But a similar experience
with an 88 t SW turned out thusly: StopLeak, introduced to remedy
a drippy radiator, had lodged in the hose between the engine and
the heater-box in the kick panel, plugging it solid.
Just my two piasters.
Cheers,
Steve Bergin
