You may have water built up in your evaporater. Check your evaporater drain tube for restriction. Good luck with it. | |||||||||||||||||||||

The drain tube is on the passenger side of the firewall under the hood behind the right rear valve cover. It is hard to see and find, it is a black rubber tube that makes a 90* bend out of the firewall and is open ended to drain on the ground. I usually use compressed air very carefully and slowly (small, very short, 1/8 of an air shot or less, you don't want to damage anything in the evaporater) blown up the tube until water comes out, sometimes it is a lot, so be aware of the possibility of getting wet. Good luck with it. | |||||||||||||||||||||
