Alright, this probably doesn't go in this section, but after I installed my heads and Cam my AC/heater doesn't blow air out of the front vents. It only blows on the lower vents by your feet, and out the vent for the defrost. What did I do wrong? Did I hook something up backwards. The vents that do work, do blow hot/cold air. The condensor is also getting cold. Everything seems to be working normal except it's not in the right spot. Help Please!!!

So after my Heads and Cam install, my Air conditioner/heater has stopped blowing front vents. It blows out the vents by the floorboard, and up on the defrost vent no matter what setting it's on. (Hot/Cold/Defrost etc) What did I do wrong? The condenser is getting cold. It still is creating hot/cold air, just not blowing out the right vent. Is there something that I didn't hook up, or something I broke. The only thing is that I had an ASP Crank pulley that we installed. Other than that, I'm pretty sure that everything was hooked up exactly where it was before. (Grounds, EVAP lines) Help Please

Usually this means the little vacuum hose that goes from the back of the intake, to a little fitting between the engine and pcm, is disconnected.

It feeds vacuum to power the vacuum motors for the flapper doors.

Check the vacuum line at the back of the intake. Make sure it's connected , not pinched etc.
