I have been looking all over that damn thing (heater control valve) !! I have a 94 Z28...no heat coming out of the heater....so I am figuring it is the HCV...but I'll be damned if I can find it. All other Heat/AC functioning fine. Could you describe the location?

its probaley your water pump.

middle of engine...do u mean near the thermostat or intake manifold cause if so that could just be a bad seal
