I have seen the control head cause this problem. What i would do is take the control head out and your main supply vacuum to the unit i think is a black line if i recall. you can attach a small piece of vacuum line to the black one and jump from the main vacuum line to the others and you should notice the positions change for each different color. Also the last one that i did was hissing a little when the control head was faulty. if they change position when you jump the lines you need a control head.
As for the the other problem with your heat not blowing out. Does it not Blow anything out the vent when you turn the fan up or does the air coming out not change temperatures?

The vacuum-type control units sometimes crack. Be sure all the vacuum lines are hooked up, and the control unit is free of cracks.
My thought is it's a control unit problem, since you can control neither the heat nor the vents.
