TheLexor - don't get over excited just yet. If you have one vent cooler than other (when they should be equal) - that usually means you need a freon top-up.

Default Smog Sensor Further

Thanks Lynzoid - You were right!

I still had issue after cleaning so I had freon topped-off and cooling from side-to-side is much better. I appear to stil have an issue though with the mixing of air from vents to floor, defrost, etc. Wonder if the mixing valve or a related hose could have gone bad. I'll check, but if anyone has any thoughts that would be teriffic.
