Try a new thermostat, and recharging your A/C

Does the car run in normal temps... its not overheating is it?

COuld be a blend door motor... maybe? Its early, no caffeine in me so I think random things - it was the first thing that came to mind.

Oh, but how well does it switch modes, like from vent to defrost and back? Just to rule out vacuum issue.

 

[DSPENCER]

yes when i switch to vent and other modes nothing seems to change

Well someone has to have the pic. I lost mine

But to the poster, you basically want to look for a black air line. It goes into the firewall at the passenger side near the heater core. Follow it back to the intake manifold.

You will have to remove the beauty cover over the engine if you have one.
