smoke coming out of a/c vent
1994 accord.
I was driving about 55 MPH, with my A/C on, when I noticed that smoke was coming out of the center a/c vent. I shut the a/c off and the smoke stopped coming out. Anyone know what's going on here? I hope it's not poisoning. |

if it's a leaking evaporator, should i take it to an ASE mechanic or a
mechanic who specializes in auto air conditioning systems? |

this was a steady continuing flow of visible vapor. It only went away
after I had shut off the A/C. It only happens if I drive over 55. Is this considered an A/C problem? If so, I'll have to tell the mechanic to check my A/C. I'm not experiencing problems with the a/c refrigerant though, it still keeps me cool during a hot day. |

If it were a freon leak big enough to see, the A/C would stop working quicker than soon. If it were the heater core leaking, the inside of the car would reek of coolant, and the windows would be fogging like crazy every time the outside air temp dropped down a little... like every evening/night. My Accord does the water vapor thing, different lighting conditions can make it look dramatic sometimes. Erik |

You shouldn't have to tell your mechanic what to check, tell him the
conditions you are having and let him determine what it is. > wrote in message oups.com... > this was a steady continuing flow of visible vapor. It only went away > after I had shut off the A/C.
