Uhh...the whos it with the what now? No, I have no vacuum testing gear =
so I do some of the shadiest shade tree work: listen for leaks, if you =
don't hear any, replace the suspect and see if that fixes it. I wonder =
what my mechanic would charge to test the vacuum? It's a moot point now =
since he usually needs a week to work me into the schedule, and I'm =
leaving back for school in a few days. At least now when the system is =
off no air comes through the vents and when it is on it usually works =
(in fact, since replacing the one element I did replace I have yet to =
experience the partial heat problem for more than about 15 minutes). =
That should do me through till spring break. I'm gonna check the vacuum =
boxes behind the radio tomorrow and make sure everything is ok. Is there =
any way to quickly get the climate control box back in as far as it =
should be? I had to keep adjusting it mm by mm at a time last time.
Thanks for all your help,
Richard

Richard:  one last comment.  You did run a vacuum test on each line at =
the
vacuum distribution manifold, right?  If any one line has an element =
with a
bad leak the possibility exists that none of the elements will work =
properly
because you will draw down the reserve vac pressure on the reservoir =
under
the fender.  So, a gross leak will cause elements that are actually just
fine to misbehave.

A Mighty-Vac or similar tester will make short work of learning which
element or line is bad by simply disconnecting at the manifold and =
applying
vac pressure and watching for a drop on the needle over 20-30 seconds.  =
Then
it's just identifying the line and/or associated element needing repair.
You can also test the vac reservoir at the distribution manifold for =
leaks.
