The air isn't being stopped, it's being redirected. The mode selection is done through a series of air doors that are operated by vacuum. When there is either a partial or total loss of vacuum, the system will default to either defrost or on some vehicles, heat. Acceleration can also have an effect on the doors for the same reason. Look under the hood for a small black plastic hose coming through the firewall. Follow it to the vacuum source looking for any breaks, cracks or leaks. Also follow any other lines that branch off because they may go to a vacuum reservoir (storage tank) and a leak there will cause the same problem. Using a vacuum gauge to determine if you have full vacuum at any given point is the best way to find it. You can cut into the line anywhere and splice it back together with a piece of vacuum hose. Find the broken line, you found your problem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

HT's advice is important, so you should follow his advice first for sure. If you don't find any leaks and you have vacuum at the control panel, it's common on those EATCs for the solenoid o rings inside the panel to leak which will cause default to defrost or you'll have wackiness going on with vent selection. You can either replace the panel (expensive) or you can re o-ring the solenoids. Check out this link for more information: http://autoforums.carjunky.com/...search_engine#101374 Hopefully you find a broken vacuum line.

If the air is coming out where it should and it's as cold as it should be, then just leave it alone. Make sure the condenser fans are always working properly if you have electric and the fan clutch is pulling good air if you have that type.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
