I have a 97 gt with a 3800 and about 100000 miles on it. My vent is stuck at defrost. How can I fix this? It's getting cold in MI and I would like to warm up my feet. Thanks.

Put the car on cruise control and put your feet on top of the dashboard...Only kidding...im not sure of the answer but am sure you will get a good reply

I had the same problem and it turn out to be the vaccum hose going to the MAP sensor. If your cruise control doesn't work as well, there's a pretty good chance that the vaccum hose from the MAP sensor came undone, if so, reconnect it. Hope this will solve your problem.

hey regalfriend, how ironic that your joke would be impossible, as it's most likely a vacuum line has split and/or came off, and the same vacuum line supplies the cruise as well, :rofl:

That's funny, I didn't know the cruise control had a vacuum line feed. :lol:
But seriously the one to check is the one that runs from the intake manifold and routes in a round about way near the battery into the big wiring harness that eventually goes into the firewall to feed vacuum to the HVAC system controls.
I worked on a friend's '98 GT a while back and he didn't know that he smashed the accessories vaccum line after a battery swapout. The battery was sitting on top of it.

oops, my bad. I forgot these cars have an electronic cruise module, not the old school vacuum one. I was so busy making a joke, I didn't check my facts first. :loser:

Thank you. I must have pulled of the line when I took off the engine cover. It was the small line going from the back side of the manifold around to the fusebox/battery side of the engine compartment. Now I have feet heat.
