You have a vaccuum feed that goes to the HVAC system. Once vaccuum is lost, i.e. when you give it gas, the vents change position. The factory uses a check valve to solve this problem. Perhaps yours is dead or missing.

It will be under the hood, near the firewall.

ok...HVAC is short for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. Basically, the box underneath the dash that houses the heater core, evaporator, and all the vents.

Look under the hood and check all of your vaccuum lines. Make sure none of them are brittle or broken (in your climate, they may very well be). Next, look for one that goes from the engine and disappears into a small box on the firewall. That box is a vaccuum canister...it stores vaccuum and releases it as needed. That canister also feeds the cruise control servo that is on the side of the engine, on the transmission.

On that line, there should be a check valve. It looks like a small disk that is inline with, well, the line. The check valve allows air to flow in only one direction...so in other words, only vaccuum should be present in the line AFTER the valve.

Hope this helps you out.

Look for the black tank between the maxifuse relay cover and the windshield wiper motor assembly at the top of the firewall.

The black tank between them is the vacuum accumulator. It is designed to hold vacuum for long enough to prevent this problem, and has a checkvalve on it'* input to prevent this.

In this picture, do you see the green INTENSE sticker? That'* the accumulator. Underneath is a vacuum connection. See if it has a checkvalve installed in the line that goes to the manifold:

yes it has check valve installed on it...

and there is another hose sitting besides.. and they are merging into 1 hose going
to the engine...

its possible that check valve is dead/busted?

Blow through each end. It should flow one way, but not the other.

Don't let your friends see you do it.

when i blew in one hole, (im talking about that 2 small tubes).. it flows to other side and in the front.. that should be in one direction only right? and when i blew it. its like hard to flow the air. like theres something inside that blocks the airflow..

and when i blew it in that one tube (thats is the one w/ no tube in the side) it flows the air in 2 direction.
