Bought the car in Novemeber with 3000 miles. Car has 5000 now. Turned the A/C on for the 1st time and the bitch blows nothin but hot air I have checked all the fuses and everything looks good. It is still under warranty of course but I am trying to save a trip to the dealer. Any ideas? I have tried both A/C and Max A/C on the highest setting for several minutes at freeway speeds? May as well run the heater.

Had this problem with my 98 Cobra with the A/C blowing when it wanted to.`

The only reason is Pain in the Arse. Have to drive out of the way to the dealer and hope for a loaner car as stated in the SVT owners book. Hard to get the car to the dealer while working. Guess I could do it on a Monday, just don't want them keeping the car. Hate going to the dealer too.

I feel ya but i wouldn't be able to tolerate the heat out in Oakley

And just remeber that they will only give yo uthe rental AFTER they have gone through and deemed it covered by warranty

Hope it's fixed quickly....it's getting hotter and hotter out.

Most dealers (including mine) are open on Saturday, some dealers are even open on Sunday. Not that much of a pain when you can bring it in 7 days a week.

Yeah I broke down and dropped it off this morning on the way into work.

Trix, I hear you on the heat. I drove home yesterday from work and by the time I got home and out of the car it felt like I had stepped out of a steam room.

Good thing this is just a weekend car.Now if I could just get the 65 running.......

Good to hear Sharky!

I'm sure they'll have it fixed in no time...and hopefully the weather has cooled down a bit out where you are because it is a lot more overcast here in Fremont this morning

Here's the breakdown:
-Steg II port
-2.76
-Accufab Tb/plenum
-Steeda CAI
-Bassani off road X
-Dynomax 3" CB
-Diablosport Predator
-Diablosport Maf.ia (maf xtender)

The #'s in the sig are prior to installing the off-road X, Maf.ia, and the updated tune to lean things out a bit...trying to get closer to 11.8-12.0 A/F throughout the rpm's.

Hope to see #'s closer to 500rwhp and about the same TQ.

---

Nice. Who did the tune?Im looking for more power
Oh I just got my car back by the way. Can you say Fridgid?

O-rings were bad and it leaked out all the coolant. Replaced and recharged.

I knew it would be a quick fix!

Good to hear.

The tune was done via mail-order from RWTD (runninwiththedevil) by a guy named James.

Depending on what system you decide to go with as far as tuning there are local guys here that can do the job w/o having to hav ethe wait time for "new tunes".

Nick @ Newtech uses Diablosport

Jeff S uses SCT

...but they may even be able to go back and forth between hand helds and i'm sure they are familiar with other systems as well

Back when i got my stuff done i wasn't too familiar with any of those guys but heard lots of praise about James and thought i'd give it a try and now that i have all diablosport products i thought i'd stick with him and so far so good....car runs strong but i need to get it to the track ASAP
