Has anyone used kerosene as a engine flush and if so how did it do?

oh I like the sound of dynamic. almost anything sold in the auto parts store could be used as a "flush"
there's probably at least a dozen specific products sold for this purpose, whether or not they actually do anything meaningful is another debate. what are you trying to solve or accomplish by "flushing" the engine?

I also used stop leak to try to stop a radiator leak and I have since replace the radiator recently and thermostat
another victim of stop leak products. it has probably caused more harm than good. you might need a complete heater core replacement. luckily I think they are cheap.

anytime stop leak products are used in the cooling system you want to flush all that stuff out before you replace whatever it was that was leaking.

oh you say no air is coming out, completely different issue. you have fuses and relays to check now at a minimum.
also maybe some debris is clogged in the area because someone never replace the filter?

probably a blown fuse...
you should also download the FSM which should have wiring diagram for you to follow
