I have had two car service companies and a personal friend and mechanic look at it. The two companies each spent hours looking for the problem and trying different things but to no avail. My friend (a mechanic) also found nothing, but said he had an idea. The 1998 Ford Taurus apparently has a bypass that, when the air line is clogged, bypasses the heater core and goes straight to the cab. He said flushing the heater core and clamping the bypass might do it. The heater core has been flushed multiple times recently trying to fix this problem and it has done nothing. Maybe clamping the bypass might.. we'll see...
