Sounds like the diverter door is out of position. One of the servos is acting up....there is a procedure for cleaning the servos....

If he doesn't know "jack", why did you take your car there? Not trying to be a wise-guy, just curious. Thanks and good-luck with your repair.

I don't know "Jack" either Artbuc- who is he? I don't think he took it there, his FIL did. I don't know if it is his FIL or the mechanic who doesn't know Jack but somebody aughta introduce them. That's quite a commute, don't 'ya think? At least that explains a little bit, for us curious souls. The picture is a lot clearer, 'cept we still don't know who doesn't know Jack! Have a good 4th, what's left of it!

Anyone who doesn't know "Jack" needs to watch this short video. Then everyone will know "Jack".
