Well the last fer months have been my project time for the car of my dre...err nightmares My beloved 91 SC Auto. Let me preface this by saying I'm decent with tools, and great with directions, but until this car I haven't done this much under the hood work ever, so I am learning as I go. Thanks to every poster on this board who has saved me thousands of $$ in diagnostics and shop work and imparted knowledge in the 3 years I have had my SC.
Here's what Ive done so far thanks to this board. Replaced Power steering lines (all), replaced Accumulator, replaced IAC valve, Buying shocks and taking a deep breath as I look into putting those in, just replaced my motor mounts (yeah i can actually see light under the oil pan ) And then there was the extreme fun replacing my thermostat. Wish I could strangle the guy before me who bent out the housing.
So now im looking at my climate control and wondering what the hell is wrong with it. I can turn the heater/vent/deforster on and sometimes pow, here it comes full blast as it should. Other times I turn it on and....nothing, then during the course of the drive it sometimes comes on and works great.
So anyone out there help me troubleshoot this? If its a high dollar deal and not going to affect anything else, I'm probably just going to leave it as is and freeze during the few cold days we get here in Texas. AC hasnt worked since I got the car (worked on twice by shop and both times it was gone in 2 months again)
Any and all help apreciated.
