Replying to: cach22 (Mar 21, 2009 2:55 pm) Try the Climate Control Problems (Air Conditioning, Heat) - All Cars discussion - some of these problems happen to lots of different makes. You have maybe 6 weeks to get it figured out before the weather gets hot.   Steve, visiting host
#47 of 66 "97 venture no heat, overheating, wont go over 15 mph by debby4 Apr 06, 2009 (4:31 pm)
no heat or a/c first, then temp. gauge went up and down erraticly, then went to hot and stayed there, engine started chugging and wanted to die, would not go over 15 mph. fluids and thermostat good, new water pump and temp. sensor

Replying to: 442dude (Mar 23, 2009 4:31 pm) i am having the exact same problem, it blows super cold on the passenger side vents and blows out warm on the driver side vents. i have checked all the vacuum lines and nothing. i even took out the filters and it did help with airflow but that was it.

Replying to: 1963impala (Jun 07, 2009 3:20 pm) My A/C problems now appear to be fixed. I had to take my Venture in for a transmission flush. Some of the shifting it was doing was pretty jerky. Since I had it in the shop, I asked them to check my A/C system for leaks. They did not listen very well. When they were done, they had simply added another 2 lbs of refrigerant and some dye. They said if it leaked now that they would be able to identify where. Jeez, no kidding. I asked to check for leaks and they ad refrigerant. Anyway, that A/C is darn near cold enough now to make ice cubes. When I had last added refrigerant myself, my cheapo gauge said the pressure was a little high. Then when the A/C seemed to quit working the next day, the gauge said the pressure was too low. Of course I thought I had a leak in the system then. Well, after having the shop add another 2 lbs of refrigerant and everything still working great as of today, I now feel it was simply a matter of a cheap gauge AND the A/C system needing to be evacuated and then recharged. If you are getting the same hot/cold symptoms I was, I'd bet that you need the same thing - evacuation and recharge. It is not the cheapest thing, but the A/C is working great now.   Does anybody know of a cost effective way a person can evacuate their A/C system and then recharging it yourself?
#50 of 66 Air Conditioning is anemic, but works. Why? by fleastiff Jun 27, 2009 (4:24 am)
I have a 2000 Chevy Venture. At first I was rather well impressed by the air conditioning system. It worked and it seems to have worked quite well. In Florida, this is a much appreciated feature! After a while the AC seemed to get weak. One mechani re-charged it. Yet its never really worked anywhere near as well as it did before. Its set on taking outside air and cooling it. Would recirculating the air make more sense? Its not that cool air is not coming out of the vents. It is. But its cool air rather than cold air. And it seems to be less strong a breeze even if I have the fan set at 5, its highest position. What items should I check to see why I'm getting only cool rather than cold air being blown out of the vents. Replies to this message: matlison5 (Jul 25, 2009 6:21 pm) phildunn (Aug 01, 2009 2:23 pm)

Replying to: fleastiff (Jun 27, 2009 4:24 am) Did u ever get any answers as to why your a/c wasn't working well - mine doesn't get as cold - and it doesn't blow as hard - i'm about to have some freon put in it, but i've also noticed water in my front 2 floor-boards (soaked thru carpet) in conjunction with running the the a/c for long periods of time - which is unavoidable in the SE during the summer....

Replying to: matlison5 (Jul 25, 2009 6:21 pm) Your floor boards are wet due to a pinched drain hose. More times than not you need to replace the hose. It is a flimsy hose that kinks easily. I have had this problem several times and it goes away when the hose is unlinked/replpaced. Good Luck.

Replying to: cabbbailey (Aug 16, 2008 6:26 pm) 2002 chevy venture AC drain water LEAKS into passenger feet area under carpeting. How did you solve it. i blew backwards with a tight blower nozzle connection into the Ac drain (short little tube that drained behind the engine just below the alternator. no water came out and the van was sitting on a level garage floor.   Did anyone solve the problem without taking the entire a/c plenum apart and clean out muck ?
#54 of 66 A/C water leaks into operator area venture by johno99 Aug 01, 2009 (8:01 pm)
I can't imagine there is a pinched hose or where it might be, I blew air into the drain hose coming out of the a/c box behind the engien jsut below the alternator. what di you find and how did you fix it ?
