Cool

Vacuum loss is the problem & a VERY common one!

On the CLK try depressing the EC button & see if the center vents still close durning accel, IF not then the fresh air vacuum element is the problem!

The starting point is to find the vacuum block under the passenger under-dash panel & by using a vacuum pump check each vacuum line & vacuum element for leaks.
