Replying to: n8ten97 (Aug 14, 2006 5:30 pm) My 95 does this. I beleave its suspose to to keep power up. Only does it when I really gun it. Personally I like it. my old car the AC would drain massive power (4c) with shitty acceleration, no problem with this car.

Replying to: n8ten97 (Aug 14, 2006 5:30 pm) One of your vacuum lines is bad. In this year it's common for the line that runs by the battery and down to the vacuum reserve tank to get rubbed through.   Take the battery out, and look for a fairly thin, hard plastic line. Should run by the battery and down to a ball-shaped tank under the driver's side front end of the car. Follow along it's complete path up through the engine bay. If that's not it, look around engine at other vacuum lines and you should find a bad one. Local auto parts will sell you new line. Replies to this message: n8ten97 (Aug 15, 2006 4:37 pm)

#85 of 192 Re: '00 Grand Prix external air temperature sensor error [kreider] by kreider Aug 17, 2006 (9:37 am)
Replying to: kreider (Jun 26, 2006 11:45 am) I did fix this problem with a new temperature sensor - it only cost 7 bucks at the dealership, but took some time to find under the front bumper in one of the air intakes for cooling the radiator, totally out of sight. You can find it by sticking your hand in the intake and feeling around with your palm pointed up, it's connected to the bumper with one of those goofy plastic barbed pins that allow for easy insertion, forceful removal. Worked great for about 3 months, now the AC just doesn't cool yet again, and it isn't the sensor since that still works.

Sounds like this may be a compressor issue. It isn't the exterior temperature sensor this time. Any ideas? Replies to this message: knepski (Aug 22, 2006 2:00 pm)

Replying to: kreider (Aug 17, 2006 9:40 am) I recently started noticing this porblem in my '99 GT also. On a recent trip about 3 hours in I noticed the temp reading 68 on a 103 degree day and the AC would blow cool air but not cold. Normally the AC blows really cold air and I rarely run it down on 60 for more than a couple of minutes. I noticed that as I went down hills the sensor tended to correct itself and the AC would blow cold again until I started the next hill climb then the external temp would drop down to 68 again. This happened about 5 or 6 times and eventually it stayed on 68. That was a week ago and now it's on 54 consistently. I'll try the sensor swap and see what happens.

Replying to: raynacook (Jul 11, 2006 3:07 pm) Hi,   I am brand new to this site and read a few threads before I decided to ask my question. I have a '97 Grand Prix GT with a manual control AC System. It has been in the shop three times in the last two weeks and after a few hundred dollars, the AC still is not cold. The shop said the control panel was bad, so I replaced it but this didn't solve the problem. They have stated it is full of freon, everything turns on, but it doesn't get cold.   Does anyone have any ideas on what to check? I fixed the problem of it blowing out the heater, defrost and dash at the same time. The vacuum hose had come loose under the washer fluid reservoir. This works right now, it switches from max to normal AC, the clutch engages on the compressor, switches to heat, defrost, etc....you can move the temp switch from cold to hot and it gets hotter, just won't get cold.....   I would appreciate any suggestions.   Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to this site and I thought that it would be very helpful in helping figure out whats wrong with my blower. My blower only works #5 and not 1-4. What could possibly be the problem?
