Got a question about the AC. I recently had to change an AC hose due to it sitting on my header and melting.
I changed out my hose. Then brought it to a shop to be pulled and recharged.
It blows cold air but not like.it used to. It's almost a moist cold. And on some days I can see a mist or fog blowing from the vents.
Anyone have some in site to what may be going on?

check your drain for the evaporator (there should be water draining out under the car with the ac running on a humid day) if its plugged that might explain your symptoms

Thanks. I will check that out. Would a weak blower motor because this?

Cause not "because"

Nope, I'll agree with jwog.

And if all checks out OK, then take it back to whoever charged it and see what they'll do for you. I'd think they'd like to keep they're customers happy.

Thanks again for the advice and info. I will check it out for sure tonight.

UPDATE: I went under the car and cleaned out the evaporator drain. It didn't spew water out as I expected but it cleared up my problem. AC is cold as ice again.

Now for the record and I'm sure most of you know this already, but there is no "drain tube" in the traditional sense. On the 2001 GT, there is a sump drain, and a small hole through the fire wall on the passenger side. Right above the headers I have.
It was a bitch to get to it because of my headers but I got there. Worth a look before spending money at the shop.

nice, glad u fixed it

Some irony here. Got my drain unplugged, my compressor locked up. If I had to guess I would say it's coincidence.
With the help of this forum and some YouTube I had my system evacuated, then I changed the compressor, pulled vaccum for and hour and recharged the system. Now it's like getting hit with ice cubes in my car.

Great job, and thanks for the update.
