Does your car smell slightly like hay or straw when you turn the blower on?

Mine right now is blowing slow and is cold but there is no doubt in my mind mine is blocked by a rodents nest

Maybe yours is also.

Checked this morning to see if air blows through all of the vents in all modes. I felt air coming through the floor, middle, and defrost vents on all modes. Looks like it is that vacuum problem. I will have to check the line tonight.

What type of tubbing do I use to fix this??

Buy the way, thanks for everyones help!!

Default Type of Tubing

1/8" emissions tubing and 1/8" splices if you're splicing it. Can get at Auto Zone, Advanced Auto etc.

Exactly what I used. Cost about 50 cents. Cheapest fix I've ever done. While you have the battery out, if you've had the acid problem, clean it up really well and repaint the acid stained areas. Good luck with you fix and let us know how it goes. Zuti

I was checking my vehicle today for this same problem. Found tons of old corosion. What is the best way to clean this up? Also does anyone have a pick where the line goes into the manifold? Having trouble locating that spot.
