hooziewhatsit Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 sounds like a vacuum line under the hood came loose. Look for one to go from the intake manifold to the white canister thing behind the passenger strut. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 If you open the hood, over by the base of the windshield on the passenger side you will see a milky white plastic container. This is the vacuum storage bottle. There will be a rubber hose running from this through the firewall, and another rubber hose running down to the intake manifold on the engine. Make sure both of these hoses are hooked up, and that they don't have cracks. Listen for a hissing noise while the engine is running in this area. The vents use vacuum to move the doors inside the ductwork, so if there isn't any vacuum reaching the controls, the air will only blow out of the dash vents.

You can try flushing it with a garden hose, then putting the hoses back on reverse of what they were. It might help, might not, but can't hurt. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
