Replying to: bugatti3 (Jan 07, 2008 2:07 am) What you should try, is to start driving around with the cruise control on. If you are driving lets say at 60 mph for 10 minutes, and then the speedometer now reads 30 but the car continues at the same speed controlled by cruise control, then you know that the transmission sensor and computer are okay, and the problem is likely the dash/display. On the other hand, if you are driving at 60 on cruise, and all of a sudden the speedomenter drops to 30 and the cruise either triggers off....or speeds the car up, then you should suspect the transmission sensor. |

I have 2006 expedition EB edition. The heater blows very hot air while the temperature is on 67F, even if I lower the temperature to 65F where no heater should be working, it still blows very hot air. This Usually happens when the outside temperature is low (30's). It makes a little difference when turn the A/C on with recycle air. I took it to the dealer and they did not find any problem. Most of the times I have to turn it off in order to breath in the care since it get very hot. any body have any clue

1998 Olds Silhouette Van Just had AC serviced... Drained & Recharged All was fine for about 2 weeks. The van has 3 center of dash vents... Left and center now give warmish air... The furtherest to the right gives cold air??? What could be causing the problem... Is there a blend door ? Part of AC not cooling? I hate to say it but I don't trust my mechanic... So I would like some suggestions before returning...

The AC blower fan on my 98 Olds Aurora works fine some of the time, then at other times wont. Lately I find that if I leave the fan position swith in the mid range, it will blow steady but with reduced force. Had it to the dealer and they could not get it not to blow. Someone suggested it could be the Blower fan control module. Any one else have suggestion? |

I am planning to replace the expansion valve & dryer myself and then have an A/C shop charge the system. Can an average hobbyist perform this replacement? I had the system checked and was told the expansion valve was blocked. The shop has already pulled out any freon from the system. I have a Camry engine manual but I have lost track of my download of the full repair manual that includes the A/C system. Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks, Roadzx

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 08, 2008 4:34 pm) Sounds like flushing the lines would be a good idea. Again I'm not sure how much or how complicated the work would be for a DIY'er. I've ordered a repair manual on DVD that hopefully will help. What would one flush the lines with? Air or solution or both? How difficult is it to clean a compressor screen. A shop ventured the cost of the work would start at $400 but could go up. Since I was able to acquire the expansion valve and dryer for under $100 I assumed most of the cost was labor. Thanks.
