It was working properly yesterday. Any idea or suggestion ? Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Sep 1, 2009, 10:57 AM Post #2 of 5 (1726 views) Re: 89 Olds 88 Royale no air out of vents Sign In  The mode selection is done through a series of air doors that are operated by vacuum. When there is either a partial or total loss of vacuum, the system will default to either defrost or on some vehicles, heat. Acceleration can also have an effect on the doors for the same reason. Look under the hood for a small black plastic hose coming through the firewall. Follow it to the vacuum source looking for any breaks, cracks or leaks. Also follow any other lines that branch off because they may go to a vacuum resevoir (storage tank) and a leak there will cause the same problem. Using a vacuum gauge to determine if you have full vacuum at any given point is the best way to find it. You can cut into the line anywhere and splice it back together with a piece of vacuum hose. Find the broken line, you found your problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. comnavguy User Sep 1, 2009, 10:58 PM Post #3 of 5 (1718 views) Re: 89 Olds 88 Royale no air out of vents Sign In As usual, you hit it out of the park. The small line going to the firewall connection got bumped and cracked when the oxygen sensor was replaced. Spliced and it's now working properly - THANKS .
