    Bud..Bro...Brother.....
    Thank you...
    I was like literally ready to order a new Blower Fan until I stumbled across this Vid.
    At full throttle I lose all air thru the vent until I let off, then it comes right back..
    Undid the fender liner and Wow, the vacuum line had disintegrated...
    Gonna replace it this weekend and that's probably the reason I get a Hunting Idle for approximately 3-4 seconds on warm startup.. Cold start up no hunting at all...
    Thanks

    Phenomenal Explanation - Many Thanks.
    I'm guessing the deletion of the EGR system vacuum lines - would just be plugging that systems source line?

      Heavy G312 the puck shaped item is another vacuum reserve canister, but it is used only on the emissions system. If you’ve removed your egr, you can safely remove the tab/tad solenoids on the back of the strut tower, this under fender reservoir, and all associated vacuum lines.

    Mine will come out of my dash vents most of the time, but it'll randomly switch to the floor vents, and it'll stay there for sometimes minutes, sometimes days, then randomly go back to the dash vents. Do you think that might be an issue with the check valve getting stuck? I think if there was a leak then it would never go back to the dash vents.

    I've got two vacuum lines coming out of my fender. Are there two reserve cannisters essentially? One for hvac and one for smog?

    • @LeechMotorsports
      @LeechMotorsports  3 года назад +1

      Yes. The one shaped like a sphere is for hvac, and the one shaped like a puck is for emissions.

    Well put!! What does it mean when the a/c motor tries to turn on but turns right back off (and keeps repeating till you turn off the a/c)?

    • @LeechMotorsports
      @LeechMotorsports  3 года назад +1

      That would typically mean there is a pressure switch cycling due to the system needing to be recharged or the fans not keeping the a/c system cool enough to maintain reasonable pressures. Pressure switch could also need to be replaced.

    Hey, I have the vacuum line running to the vacuum tank on the check valve but the previous owner plugged up the one running into the firewall, Where does that vacuum line go into once its inside the firewall? Is it easy to access if i need to run a new vacuum from the firewall to inside my car?
    Thanks again, great information.

    • @LeechMotorsports
      @LeechMotorsports  4 года назад +1

      It ultimately goes into a vacuum port in the back of the hvac controls panel on the center console.

    you could zip tie the defrost door closed then you would only have the main vents or use a choke cable to manually switch between main and defrost

    I replaced my heater core not too long ago and the heater worked perfectly as well as my ac. Now I have no heat at all, I made sure to check the coolant level and that's topped off. Still no heat. Any idea what it could be?

    • @LeechMotorsports
      @LeechMotorsports  2 года назад +1

      Did the heat quit immediately after the heater core install, or was there a period of time after the install that it was still working correctly? Does air blow out of the vents at all?
