A '94 doesn't use vacuum it uses a cable system.

I also think now that it's the blower motor. You made it sound earlier like your actual compressor wasn't working. Next time it goes out try it on other modes on all different speeds (floor high, defrost low, etc.). If nothing works, it's the blower motor.

As for the radiator...

You physically broke the radiator? or just a hose blew off?

I'd explore some local shops in your area to see what they can figure out.

It might just be clogged.

But IF[B] the 'cleaning/refurbishing-pressure testing job costs right at the 100$ mark- then you may as well just buy a new one. The avg. OE/aftermarket replacements seem to be hovering right at the $120-$175 depending on a bunch of different factors.

I know our sponsor (Y2K Ford-found in the Sponsor banner up-top) has one listed for like 173$ I think. Of course that will be Ford part too.

Or if your bound and determined to find that $100 radiator...try googling that.. (radiator.com comes into mind).

Bone yards are a Small possibility, BUT you might be buying someone elses problem or screw-up. I'd stay away from it unless you find a GEM of a radiator.

Please keep in mind that the sponsors help keep this site goin'...(So does the members)
