Replying to: KarenS (Aug 24, 2007 4:26 pm) It can be one of several things but I have found the most common one being the cabin air filter being plugged or not seated properly. It is located under the plastic guard on the passenger side just above the firewall of the car. there are a couple of plastic screws that hold it in place and after removing them you can lift off the plastic shroud. The other problem you might have is a leaking heater core. Is the leak water or does it smell like coolant? Does the floor get wet after a rain storm or is it always wet and smell like coolant? Regards.
