Hello Nick, Thanks Rand man and everyone else.
Nick , no luck yet. I am going to try and take that hvac box out today. Here is the deal though, I dont see any hose going to the back of it Randman. From what I remember it was all wires the last time I looked at it. It was one orange clip or connector to the back of the hvac and then wires. Could I be confusing the wires for vacuum lines?

That'* where I am. The tank looks good, the lines going to it look good. I havent got a vacuum tester yet. Ill probobly go to Parts store and get one today.

Nick let me know what you get and Ill do the same for you. Here is my e-mail
james_e_tharp@hotmail.com, or contact me here. Here wold probobly be better we would have others opinions on the issue and they are very helpful.

If you unplug the purple line at the HVAC programmer and test vacuum there before pulling everything else apart I'd say that would be a good place to check. Then like Randman said..check the programmer.

Randman...one of the actuators could also be bad right? Just not nomrally the cause of this problem.

I dont remember seeing any vacuum lines to the hvac unit in my car. ( maybe because its unhooked.. All I saw was the wiring harness

Will do, I am chasing it in the engine compartment. Get yourself a vacuum checker, you will need it.

Default HVAC thingy

Ok all,

i thought maybe I was wrong, however there are absolutly no vacuum lines coming from the back of my hvac unit in the dash. None... there are six wires. I have pictures but am still learning how to let yu see them.

I tried plugging up the line to the tank and that did not work. There was alot of sucktion from that line by the way. I dont have a vacuum gage but Ill break down and get one on the next pay day Im broke.

So, no vacuum lines..... whats next. I still have to eliminate any hose leaks, not looking forward to that.

Anyone suprized I have no vacuum lines coming from the HVAC unit?

I feel like the wicked witch of the west in my car,,, MELTING MELTING!!!!!!

Thanks
James
