they are related. A vacuum leak causes your AC to do that....

Wish I could, but I don't have a V8 to reference....and vacuum leaks are usually a PITA to find. [&:]

I have the diagrams on a website I have access to. They have EVERYTHING locked on that site. Screen shots don't turn out right either, they looks all blury and can't read anything. [&:]

I love my http://www.mitchellondemand.com/

I have access to the OnDemand5 portion

Dang, I just looked on the http://buymitchell1.com/Merchant2/me...ry_Code=ONLINE part, $159 to download the software part, or $159/ month for the updated one thats online. I have the online one

Wow, I have this exact same problem and was going to post about it tonight. Mine will even backfire once, not loud but a backfire, when I let off of the gas once the ac switches vents. Any ideas on how to track down this vacuum leak?

Mine does the same thing. Will this effect anything else or cause problems down the road, or will it just be a pain in the butt??

if you put a vac check valve in line right before the fire wall on that littel line your prob will go away.....there was a recall about 6-7 years ago about this mine was doing the same thing and thats what a tech told me at work.
