Got a ?

On the passenger side engine bay way toward the back there are two holes that stick out. On my car nothing was hooked into them all there was was one rubber hose coming from somewhere and another hose going back toward the engine, and these two hoses where linked together with a plastic tube. To me it looks like one hose should be hooked to one of the holes and the other hose hooked to the other. My air conditioning worked before but after about 30 minutes it would kind of just be blowing cool air not ice cold, could what I described above cause this? I hooked the hoses to the holes and my air still worked. If anyone has any idea of what I'm taking about please let me know. Thanks.

Re: Got a ?

Do the two holes come out of the firewall, sounds like your heater hoses. Do you have heat?

Sounds like your heater core has been bypassed, maybe by a previous owner b/c it was leaking.

Nop not the hoses I'm talking about. The holes are coming out of the firewall. Sorry about the confusion. Two of them, right next to eachother.

Re: Got a ?

I wanna know is how you just "hooked" the hoses back up. They should have coolant in them. I agree with JChevy. Its sound like a bypass was done. Are you the original owner and Does your heater work??
