Re: ac blows on the floor when i step on the gass

Look for the black plastic vacuum line to be brittle/cracked/broken near the battery where it goes down to the vacuum reservoir in front of driver's front wheel- the battery outgassing causes this line to break-- you repair it by cutting it and inserting the right sized rubber hose over it- no clamps needed since it is a vacuum line-- I have actually seen replacement batteries sitting on top of the vacuum line from an ACE mechanic's battery install....if the leak is not there then trace all vacuum lines back to engine intake and chaeck for holes-- also be sure the line is attached to the vacuum reservoir under front fender......
