My AC was recharged, but still blows hot air. is this the same problem?

heavens turbo

no, the a/c most likely still has a major leak or it may have something to do with whatever allows the cold air in the vents( like or instance a valve or door or duct problem in the modebox)

Yep, it happened to me this friekin' winter. I currently have my heater core bypassed. The car probably had 65-70k on it at that time.

Mitsuorder if you do the repair yourself, do a little write-up for us. We all face this sooner or later.

Have you pulled the core out yet Aniel? I'm curious as to whether this was a corrosion issue or a defect.

Yep, I just went to Advanced, purchased a nice heavy duty black plastic L of appropriate diameter. Looped the two hoses that used to attach to the firewall together and secured them with some small worm gear hose clamps.
