Could the leads to the motor have been reversed when you replaced that blower motor assembly?
Reversing polarity on the motor could cause it to rotate in the opposite direction, sucking air out of the cabin instead of blowing air in. All dampers would be closed by air pressure.

Just a thought.

That's a fairly significant amount. It has to be going somewhere. Can you smell coolant when you get out of the car after shutting it off? I was leaking also, but I couldn't find it when I shut the car off and opened the hood. Only when running and revving the engine did I see the small stream ...

I'm with Archon on this one. If airflow output is dropping there has to be something blocking the airflow. You might be able to feel around going through the filter housing. I can't remember if you can actually see the blower motor through this access or not but if you can, and the car is doing it ...

Just had my 3/6 coil die at 173K. But I'm curious about that blue tab statement. What does this indicate? Better coil packs?

Thanks,

The fuel pressure sensor is located on the fuel pump module and it can be accessed by pulling back the carpet in the trunk on the passenger side closest to the back seat. You will find an access panel held down by 7 sheet metal screws with a dust seal so remove it slowly so the seal isn't damaged ...

A weak battery can read good on voltage, but can't supply the massive amperage required to turn the engine over. You should pull the battery and take it to have it load tested. If the battery tests okay, you should check the cables for connection integrity. I once found my main positive lead going ...

I have this EXACT SAME problem with my 2001 SSEi. Unfortunately, I haven't found the cure for it either. It's just as the OP described, somewhere at a time and place of its own choosing, you'll notice no air coming out of the upper vents. The blower motor will make a somewhat louder growl during ...

Cats have a 8yr 80K mile warranty

Just to take that a step further... ALL EMISSIONS RELATED COMPONENTS have a federally mandated 80k warranty. There should be a list in the back of the owner's documents that lists all the components covered by the emissions warranty. Many dealerships will happily ...

One advantage to the flush is that you get the fluid that would normally be left sitting in the torque converter. It's almost time for me to do a filter and fluid change.

Nice find on the schrader valve! I was having the same problem awhile after I did a pump and screen swap. Turns out, the hose clamp holding the corrugated pick up tube to the pump was draining pressure. I had to pull the module, then rig up some tubing to pressurize with air to find it. I put a bit ...

Here is an interesting fix for that issue. Not the first thing you'd expect, but worth checking.

I had the Check Gas Cap come on in the DIC a year or so ago. Bought an aftermarket one and the message hasn't come back since. Note that I could not see anything visually wrong with the original gas cap, but the PCM sure could when it did the evap testing.

Good luck.

The steering wheel buttons are surface mount LEDs and will probably be more trouble/cost more to replace than to just buy a new set (I sell them for $20)

Sounds like a plan. But how do I get the assembly out? Doesn't look like they can pop out of the front side. I gotta pull the steering wheel ...

That clip holds a small foam filter, but no hose is attached.

Just did my radio last week with the RS bulbs. They are correct for the 3 smaller bulbs behind the buttons, but are a bit smaller than the frosted bulbs behind the display. For that I used a slightly larger bulb I got at the local electronics shop. They weren't frosted so I gently (and I DO MEAN ...

I second the vacuum leak theory. Have been there with my Bonny. Also, if you have enough of a vacuum leak, you'll get a code set for EGR insufficient flow, due to the way the PCM checks the EGR operation. Don't pull the EGR if you get that code, just look for vacuum leaks. Most of my issues have ...

Being an electrical/mechanical device, there's no doubt that there will be failures of the motor. However, in the list of the causes of window problems, it would be well toward the bottom, especially with his symptoms. :wink:

Totally agree. I just wanted to throw a monkey wrench in the ...

We have yet to have anyone report one of the motors failing.

Well then, allow me to be the first. I did have the front passenger motor quit on me. Fortunately, I had saved the motor from a regulator I had already replaced. 3 motor mount screws and a plug later, the window was back in operation ...

As my first post here on the Bonneville Club forum, I would like to bow to harofreak00 as he is obviously a Bonneville God. I have seen more of the guts of my 01 Bonny in this thread than I could have imagined. Thanks for the pics. The 01 seems virtually identical to your project car.
