A/C only gets cold at higher RPMs...

[tom4bren]

"ac blow warmer when at idol and colder when the rpm's are higher."

Understood ... but not as dramatic as what I have or what silverbullet seems to be describing.

"Were there any changes between '99 and '01?"

There isn't supposed to be anything different other than the 'automatic' feature.

If you check some of Marlins posts on replacing the AC pump, I believe he indicated that there was a difference in model years.

Did you get your A/C problem fixed Silverbullet75 (Jim)? If you like I can put you back in your old ICE COLD 99 Astral and trade you for your luck warm 01..

Funny enough though... I tossed the idea around.
Not very long mind you...

(queue theme from the Young and the Restless...)
I love/d that VX (astral)... it was & is a wicked VX.
But, I have a new love now... a dark desire.
Twisted, and evil... as only an Ebony can be.
Someday... maybe, someday... I shall meet my first VX-love again... and wrap my hands around her supple...

Steering wheel.


......to be continued.

That day could be sooner rather then later. There's no replacement of your first love, you should take advantage of this opportunity to have her back, she misses you dearly.

Funny thing is... the mileage that has been added to the astral is only about 6k more than what I sold it at.

Funny seeing this post. The little lady I am bumping ugly with asked me a couple weeks ago if I could take a look at her A/C since it wasn't working. Said it only blew cold air if she was up to speed (I know i know... insert funny comments *here*). Well, it was about 70f outside that night when I looked at it and it seemed pretty good to me at a stand still. Took it out for a spin and it was still fine.

A couple things to keep in mind, of course, the hotter it is, the harder the A/C has to work.... so.... I looked at her settings.

AUTO TEMP CONTROL - 70f

FRESH AIR

UPPER VENTS

Ya well, when it's 90f+ out, it's a good rule of thumb to use RECIRCULATE. *wink* A hell of a lot easier to get cooler air in high heat.

Just putting it out there since a LOT of people end up spending a small fortune on A/C maintenance when something as simple as this can remedy particular cases.
