This happened to me on a trip to the Gulf a few years back in a 90
Carat. The problem turned out to be outside air seeping in around the
crummy foam seals in the airbox. The temporary fix was to pull the
heat distribution cover and duct tape over the ends of the air vents
(pointing down). Eventually the problem was solved by refurbishing the
seals, which of course means pulling the dash and breaking open the
box.
