I noticed that when sitting idle at stop lights, the van was not blowing any heat out of the vents, but that when moving, or revving up the RPMs while in park, I would get heat blowing. The blower never stopped, it was just that no heat was being generated.
My brother-in-law is a mechanic. When I talked with him, he said there was probably a blockage in the rad, that I would need to get a high-pressure rad flush.
I went to my local garage, they did a rad flush including sending something like TSP or CLR through the Radiator to get rid of all of the junk. After this, the van is now blowing heat the way it used to. I live in Canada, it gets cold up here so I really needed this, especially when stuck in stop and go traffic.
Luckily it was a cheap solution.
