hot air out of vents

I'm getting hot air blowing out of the vents even with the temp. **** turned to cold. Even with a/c on the temp. does not change. If I turn the temp. **** up the temperature gets extremely hot. Any ideas???

The Rotary runs hot so its bound to be hot air. Plus its just hot out so its just letting in out side air.

It just started happening a few days ago. It's almost unbearable to drive the car with the vents on. It's alot hotter than the outside air even when set to cold. I'm thinking maybe something is stuck open.

I did that a few months ago and it worked great until now all off a sudden no cool air, just hot and gets hotter as I turn the temp. ****. The digital diagnostic on the display reads from 0-16 correctly as well so I'm stumped.

OG poster oh ok well post 5 tells us a lot. You have had this issue in the past. Might have been a quick fix.
