Your right it seems counter-intuitive and I can't believe it works.  The
more heat you remove from the coolant the cooler the engine runs,
right??  The heater core is nothing more than a small radiator and in a
pinch if you run the heater on high with the fan on high you will remove
a bunch of heat from the coolant.  How can disconnecting the heater make
the car run cooler???
