2002 XJ8 have old air but no heat
I started and ran it for about 8 minutes. I get no heat through the vents. I checked for cold air from air conditioner and got plenty. Also there is a slight fogging up of the windshield when I have it set to heat. Anyone have an answer or can give me the possible problems to correct?

- Clogged heater core
- Poorly functioning/broken auxiliary coolant pump
- Malfunctioning heater control valve (or whatever it's called, it switches on/off flow through the heater core)
- Faults in wiring to either of those systems
- Faults in climate control modules
- Crimped/blocked bypass hoses
You can try backflushing the heater core, seems to be a pretty common issue with pretty reliable success of fixing. You can also put hands on the heater pump (located against the outside of the driver's side false firewall) and see if you can feel it vibrating (while the heat is on and set to max temp ofcourse).

My issue was the aux pump, which was a ten minute job to replace (mine was beyond brush repair, but that could be possible if yours isn't - they get worn out. There's a DIY somewhere floating around for that). My symptoms, were no heat unless under load, that's why I was asking before. And even that heat wasn't LOTS of heat, just enough of it.
