Default code help?

Yes.
Do you know where your vac leak is? What made you suspect a vac lea in the 1st place?

well i don't know where the vacuum leak is yet but i know i have one since the a/c will switch from coming out of the vents to coming out of the defrost when i accelerate, especially on the highway.

To find your vacuum leak, get some carb cleaner or starting fluid and spray it in .5 second bursts around a vac line, if nothing happens, move to another area, if your rpm increases, you have located your leak. Happy hunting

My post refers to under hood vac leaks. Dont go hosing the dash down with carb cleaner
