If it's not one thing it's another... air con problem

[sirhal]

Hi All,

Changed my plugs and leads last week to fix an annoying slugishness, and miss fire problem. Now my air con will not go into re-circulation mode!

I have had a look around the forums and I read a thread about an EA with a similar problem. It talks about vacuum hoses. So I grabbed my trusty socket set, removed the air intake hose and dove in.

No luck. Could not find any hoses under the bonnet that were not connected.

So I went inside and looked behind the glovebox. Yay! pretty coloured vacuum hoses. So to test the theory of the vacuum hoses being related to the air con, I removed the yellow one. Ok. Now I could not redirect the air. Excellent. Plugged it back in, started the car and I was now back in control of the air flow. However, no joy with the re-circ.

So I grabbed my screwdriver and started to attack the dash. Realising that I was probably about to spend an hour pulling everything apart, not really knowing what the hell I was going to do when I got there, I stopped, and started to write this.

Does anyone have any idea what would stop my re-circ from working?

Many thanks

Ty
