Sorry, I don't understand what that is. > not trying to be a smart a.s but you might > want to get another mechanic, this is not a very complex > system. Understand and agree but my mechanic is a GM mr. goodwrench (worked at the Cad store for many years) and seems to be pretty knowledgable, considering the other work he has done for me in the past. He admits that he has not worked on Vetts that much. Its really hard to find a local that even wants to work on this 84 vette. Thank You for any help you can provide Greg g'day --- "Key" >>thanks in advance for any help. my mechanic seems to be >>stumped. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> >>thanks There are doors in the ductwork that open and close to divert air to the vents -vs- to the defroster -vs- to your feet, etc. I think the '84 uses vacuum solenoids to move the doors and a bunch of vacuum hoses under the dash. > > [quoted text clipped - 53 lines] > > SignatureRic Seyler Online Racing: RicSeyler GPL Handicap 6.35 ricseyler@SPAMgulf.net http://www.pcola.gulf.net/~ricseyler remove -SPAM- from email address -------------------------------------- "Homer no function beer well without." - H.J.

I will relay this info to my mechanic. Signature"Key" >>>what year model c4 does it have manual or automatic A/C >>>control?

My 85 S10 Blazer is doing something similar right now. I put a Mity Vac on the system and I'm loosing vacuum somewhere in the dash. I know of at least one vacuum operated diaphram under it and a bunch of lines. I'm sure your vette has them too. Thanks for the info. I am thinking that may be my problem too. Signature"Key" >>> There are doors in the ductwork that open and close to >>> divert air to the [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > operated diaphram under it and a bunch of lines. I'm sure > your vette has them too. Check your vaccuum lines to the a/c system, and the check valve in the vaccuum line just front of teh firewall. You either have a vaccuum leak or blockage, or a air door damper control motor (run by vaccuum) failure... I had something similar in my 84, but that was 10 years ago, and it is a azy memory. Was a clogged vaccuum check valve. -GC > > what year model c4 does it have manual or automatic A/C > > control?

Will pass the info on to my mechanic. g'day Signature"Key" ---snip--- everyone is steering you in the right direction, pull a vacuum on the system, i you have a leak you can test each pod or use a smoke machine ( used mostly for EVAP problems) to figure out where your leak is.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >thanks > everyone is steering you in the right direction, pull a > vacuum on the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > leak is. > Greg My mechanic said that the blowing can be switched from the center vents to blow out the defrost vents. He thinks that if the vacuum was bad it would only blow out one of the vents and couldn't be switched to blow out another. Any thoughts on his line of thinking? Could he be correct or is he thinking wrong? Signature"Key" >>thanks in advance for any help. my mechanic seems to be >>stumped. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >> >>thanks the vacum SORCE is ok, but there are FOUR vacum pods, more than likely one of the two mode doors. have him look at the vacum diagram. you may be right, he may just not want to work on your car. if he does not find some one else!!!! he needs to test each vacum pod at the line leading to the pod and then if he finds the bad one find out if it is the pod or the line.

Greg (Greg's Garage) Thanks again for the info Greg. Will see what he says about it. If he doesn't at least check this all out? I will try and find another Mechanic.

I may need your help, later on. My mechanic understood and said he will check it out. He has already spent some time on my car fixing numorous problems. I am going to give him a little longer on this one, because he agreed to check it out. Will post the cause of this problem, if he fixes it.
