It seems that coolant from your engine isn't circulating through your heater core...is it possible your heater hoses were bypassed?

Fwiw I agree you'll have to remove most of the dash to get to it.

Rofl yep. Good luck replacing the valve...

Also fwiw, I've seen several Mkiv Supras' cooling system components fail (water pump, hose splices, etc.), primarily due to improper maintenance. Ime, the jza80's cooling system components (including parts of the heater core) will only stand up well if your coolant is regularly flushed according to the schedule in owner's manual:

Agreed...along with distilled water (i.e. not tap water).
