Search. "EFE heater" I believe there is a test procedure. What was wrong with the old one? Before you install the new heater make sure you clean the channels with chemtool b-12. Also you better source the upper and lower gaskets. If the old gaskets are still intact maybe, MAYBE you can reuse them. |

Just hook up the red wire terminal of the heater to the ground side of a car battery and the black wire terminal to the positive and see if it gets warm. |

Increases the length of time your engine runs in open loop and increases your emissions. The heater just increases effiency. Oh and it sends a signal to Washington informing them your vehicle is polluting the air needlessly and they inform the man on you. |
