Gsxr, thanks! I am now on the search for a good used monovalve and aux pump since I have to return the pinch clamp pliers to the fleet tech sometime soon. I can only afford so many cups of coffee and honey glazed donuts. I'll not modify the valve/aux pump arrangement and replace it with an OEM part.

Sounds like my engine water pump is working good, especially if it can lift the monovalve's poppet off it's seat with the solenoid engaged. Though if I could look inside, I bet we'd see that it isn't seating properly.

You referenced a manual I'm not familar with. ACC Manual? Diagram 83-600?

I was considering getting the refrigerant switched back to R-12, but when I read that you have to remove the compressor and flush it several times, I may just keep my fingers crossed and pray "black death" doesn't cometh.

This morning on the way in to work, I had 60°F through the vents while the ambient was 85°. This afternoon the Phoenix temp was 109°F and I had 60°F out of the vents with the fan set on auto and 55°F with the fan on low. This, to me is acceptable.

Larry Bible, thanks for your input. I had read that you are usually "spot-on" with your diagnosis of most things on here. I'll check the recirc pod again. If it doesn't hold, I'll change it. Hopefully it's not one they hung with a piece of wire and built the car around.

Again All: thanks for your time and input. It is most appreciated. Hopefully I can be as helpful to someone else on this forum sometime.

Regards,
Michael B.
