A/C - Poor Performance

Legend Poor A/C
Performance (Again)

Poor A/C performance on a '91-92 Legend is often caused by a misadjusted heater valve cable. Coolant at normal operating temperature (194~F) in the heater core can hurt A/C performance by as much as 13~F. Inspect the heater valve as described in the July '91 issue of S/N, but disregard the arrow in the illustration. The valve is closed when the lever is towards the passenger's side of the car. If the valve is closing fully, then use one of our old standby tips: Remind the customer to cool the car on RECIRC, then switch to FRESH to maintain the desired temperature.
