Default AC Question? Does your Vette do this??????

My car's AC sucks in smoke and odors even when in the RECIRCULATE mode! I have NEVER had a car that done that before. Does anyone elses car do this, or is it just mine? I am taking it in tomorrow to have the Left actuator replaced, as the AC is blowing warm air occassionally....just wondering if I have another problem or is this normal on Vettes?

Hello Mlimm.

I have the same problem also, with my current 98, and also with my prior 86.

I think it has to do with the Vettes being so low and bottom breathers sucking all fumes and smells right into the car.

I don't have this issue with any of my other cars.

Don't have any solutions but if there is one, I know the people on this forum will have it.
