Automobile related question.

I recently got a different car, a 98 lesabre. I have noticed that when I am going up hills and have to give my car gas, my air conditioner vents stop blowing until I level out again. Is this normal or should I be worried about this?

Not normal. No worries, winter is around the bend. I'd be more worried if the heat wasn't working.

Well it's not normal. You'll have to take out the carburator, wash it with a WD-40 and vinegar solution, then reconnect it to the axle-modificator. Then you'll need to siphon the air-cobobulation mechanism using a 12 gauge tube and some white widow. After that's been cleaned, you should run the gas through the engine by turning the key in the ignition and pushing the gas peddle while having a friend manually rotate your wishwasher.

daimyo, I was pretty sure it wasn't normal. I am just worried that it may be an indication of a serious problem somewhere. But yeah, it will be getting cold soon, I can just worry about it next spring.

Yeah, a bit on the steeper hills, but it doesn't sound like its running in a way it shouldn't...also, I have dash gauges and my car seems to be running fine, aside from this air conditioner thing that I just noticed. I've only had the car for a week or so, so I'm not sure if I'm just now noticing it, or if its always done this.

You're probably going to have to recalibrate the Automatic External Defillibrator (AED), which is usually located in the G-Spot underneath fallopian tubes of your oscillating freon system, once that has been accomplished, you have to refill the napalm neutralizer, otherwise you'll have severely singed eyebrows when you ignite your internal-combustion engine. But make sure you don't mistake the neutralizer-canister for the Q-13 gyroscopic membrane. If you accidentally tamper with the Q-13, then the inter-voltage differential when the action potential is generated could cross the threshold of the siphoning filtration mechanism and then you'll have to take it to a specialist.. And they'll never give you the straight scoop on what's really going on.

this happenec to me in both of the jeeps i owned, its not really i significant problem, and dosent mean that your car is breaking, just getting old.
im sure that it also happens when you hit the gas really hard too right??
it might also be a mechanical issue such as your blower being old and weak, and your cabin air intake being poorly positioned
