Alright I have the climate control working now. Though I have a need to repair the vacuum leaks that are present in the car I know that both the door system and the climate leaks. What do all you do instead of a smoke machine to find these leaks? I find it difficult to just "Try" different spots. Douglas, Two known best spots to check are the master valve in the driver's door, which will leak a LOT of vacuum, Only replace with Bosch, the substitute will leak again in months to a couple years at most. The other place is at the Y in the trunk, near the fuel tank cover. Easy to get to and the fuel tank cover lock is a frequent failure point, I think due to the higher heat exposure in that location. You can also check the trunk lock actuator from the same point and it also fails more quickly due to the heat exposure. Of course, the myriad of tees and check valve fittings right near the brake booster merit close visual inspection. If you don't have a vacuum tester by now, they are again on sale at Harbor Freight, a metal bodied one for $18.99, made by General. Punch up part # 92474. Something else on sale that everyone should have is the fuel injection pressure tester at only $9.99! part # 92699. If you only use it to verify your oil pressure sender accuracy (it comes with a lot of adapters and a 100PSI gauge), you will have paid for it nicely.
