A/C question
The a/c on my 98 coupe is colder coming out of the passenger side vents than it is in the middle and driver door side vents. The volume of pushed air is the same. The mode selector seems to be working fine as I can select different outputs and it changes as expected. I bet the difference is 20 degrees difference.
Anyone have any ideas?
I am going to have the system vacuumed and charged next week when I get back into town since the weather is heating up..

Dual zone system? Zone selection is the vacuum side of things, temperature is blend doors. You note the passenger side is colder -- considering the time of year, I imagine you're shooting for colder on the driver's side? An actuator reset might fix it, but I'm betting on a new actuator (or two) being necessary.

I agree with Rob (C5Diag). Cars that are equipped with climate control (I had an '03 Buick LeSabre with CC, and it did the same thing OPs car is doing) seem to blow colder on the Pass. side than drivers side when low on refrigerant. I don't know if manual A/C exhibits this scenario, or not. My C5 with CC also did this, and a recharge took care of it. Good luck, OP......
