Re: Real stumper. Who's got the answer?
If they can make it blow cold with a scan tool, then the refrigeration circuit is working. You don't need an evaporator or drier. You can purchase the service manual on a CD for this vehicle and have all the service info for the entire vehicle. You can have a defective sensor; the manual will help l...

Re: Properly check vacuum.
If you have 29 inches of vacuum while the pump is running, when you close the hand wheels, you should still have 29 inches of vacuum.
