My 1993 Z28 camaro blows strong air but not cold in summer and defrost will not clean the windows. What could be the cause of this problem?

In my 1993 Z28 Chevrolet Camaro the a/c does not blow cold air. Also the deforst blows strong but does not clear the windows and in the winter it does not blow hot air. The air always blows strong.

My Camaro's are all victoms of the air flow control vaulve. My 77 had a cable that phyisically opened and shut off air flowfrom the heat and cold side and operated as I moved it from cold to heat. Then they came out with Vacuum assisted air control units that when the rubber vaccum tube dehydraded, it would be stuck in what ever it was in last, say A/C, or if u had the heater on that day. You have either cables or air hoses that open and close certain doors under your dash according to where you place the enviromental control to. 9 times out of 10, that control mechinisim froze up, a plennum door could have broken off leaving that area always open and the heater is always off. Check the book, im not 100% but it may be all electronic in the 93's if so, first check your fuses. Also check the passenger floor board for dampness. If the passenger floor board is wet, then your heater core ruptured also. It's a mini radiator under the pass. side dash. But the real deal is the air vents that open and close according to your input are not moving at all, and if they are electronic well Don't rip the dash out, that is a pain to reinstall LOL, Best bet is to take it to the chevy house because if you get the book, u'll see theres quite a few moving parts and with old plastic and them dehydrating, you can easly brake a door control and make matters worse. Good luck.

SOURCE: Heater blows cold, temp gauge rises

heater core is probably what was changed,..a little radiator under the dash that the hot water runs through and a fan behind it to blow at it thus giving you heat,...pretty much thats it in a nutshell,...sounds like something still leaking under there, (anti-freeze smell),... fill it back up with anti-freeze (non-toxic type so you don't polute) and drive to where you gotta go,....go to your mechanic to find that leak,.good luck, and do a hole shot for me! thanks, cracklin joe

SOURCE: Temperature gauge fluctuates and the heater blows cold air

Definitely check your fluid level in your radiator. Top it off all the way. I've seen that happen multiple times on cars that were low on anti-freeze. If that doesn't work try replacing your thermostat. It's cheap and the easiest place to start if topping off the fluid doesn't get you fixed up.

The defrost, heater and Ac all went out on my 1993 maxima.

If the blower worked, but couldn't get cold air, there may be a leak of refrigerant in the A/C system. If you're complaint is about the lack fan-forced air; that could be a problem with the fan speed switch or a bunch of other places. Most often however, it is the speed control resistor. Have a look at this thread to learn more about it:

I have 1993 Camaro Z28 Coupe, how do I fix the window on driver's side from sticking in the down position.

Replace the window motor. They cost around $100 for the part and $150 for the labor. If your handy with tools you can do it yourself. Just remove the door panel. Drill out the rivets holding the motor inplace. Remove the motor and install the new motor with bolts to replace the rivets (included in the package) and install the door panel.

89 merc tracer blows cold air brrrrrrr

I would recommend flushing the heater core with water thru the coolant line, then blowing compressed air thru it also. And when you refill the coolant, make sure there is no air in the system.I would also recommend replacing the thermostat if you have the time and the money and the knowledge to do so

94 Camaro Z28 Missfire & Backfires

I had a similar problem, took it to get diagnosed and was instructed to give them $1100 because of a faulty reading on the distributer, rather than paying $650 for a unit I found plenty available new for under $200 I bought an OEM for $189. Now the labour can be found cheaper elsewhere. I then discovered that the module may also be at fault but I would have to replace the dizzy first, Then discovered that the Air Flow meter {afm} may need to be taken off and cleaned with a carby cleaning spray, this is a do it yourself fix costing you about $8 a can of cleaner
Unscrew the units clamps and disconnect the plug, I can't stress enough, DO NOT touch the fine wires inside, spray the carbon buildup off the inside and blow/air dry, {do not rinse with water.} reinstall the unit in the reverse of which it was removed, Alternativly you may have fuel blockage in the lines, try replacing the fuel filter {cheapest fix}
Hope this helps
