Can a leaking heater control valve cause temp gauge to show a slower than normal engine warm up?

Maybe a little bit since it is a bit more coolant to warm up, but check your thermostat it may not be closing as it should and would be a definite cause for slow warm up and might also cause it to cool off a lot when you are traveling fast in cold weather.

Is it normal for AC water condensation to be oily?
No. You may be leaking engine coolant from the heater core or leaking refrigerant oil from the AC evaporator.
Do you need a heater core on a Saturn sl2?
Nope........... You can bypass it if its leaking and run the vehicle as normal..........
What is wrong when the ac and heater stops working but the blower still blows?
The AC and heater are completely different subsystems. The heater relies on heat generated by the engine and circulated by the engine coolant (radiator fluid) while the AC uses a belt driven compressor and separate fluids. Their only normal commonalities are the blower motor (which you said works), the ducting and the control head.
Why does heater in car smell?
there could be several things, dust in your heater could just be burning a little (normal! not a problem) or your heater core could be burn out and leaking fluid all over where you can't see. but don't take my word for it!
I have a leak under my f-150 pick and it's not a real fast leak but my defroster isn't working properly and I wanted to know if there was anything you could put in to seal the leak from my heater core?
If it is leaking under the truck it is not the heater core that is leaking. It would leak inside the vehicle on the passenger side. There is a drain tube for the A/C that is under the vehicle on the passenger side, and water from that with the A/C on is normal. If it is coolant, check the heater hose connections at the firewall. If you find that the heater core is actually leaking, replace it. No other repair is permanant.

Coolant leaking into engine oil? Leaking head gasket Run engine to normal operating temperature pull oil dipstick and let a drop fall onto hot part of engine - oil will smoke coolant will sizzle
What would cause a 1996 Dodge ram heater gets warm but when you turn Blower up it goes cold?
If the engine is getting up to normal temp, the heater core might be plugged. Heater core is not plugged and normal operating temp!

Your 1987 caprice classic is not producing heat ive changed the heater control valve and it still doesnt work no symptoms of heater core or thermostatcan you help?
Low coolant? Thermostat not closing allowing engine temperature to get to normal operating range? System air bound? Heater core plugged or restricted? Water pump not circulating coolant?
All of your fluid levels are good but you see water leaking from near the firewall and would like to know what that could be?
Possibilities might include heater hoses, the heater core or a head gasket. It could also be from the AC condenser, which is pretty normal.
Why does your 1999 F 150 Ford truck v8 blow out partially warm air?
Could be a number of things starting with is the truck operating at normal temperature? If not may have a bad thermostat. Is the antifreeze level correct? Check it with engine at normal temperature running engine. If the overflow tank is empty, add enough to bring it to the hot engine line, recheck after a few minutes and add more if necessary. It's also possible that you have a plugged heater core, or a bad temperature control panel or heater resistor. Good luck .
