Subject:Does the A/C Recirculate? (Q 2 of 2)
From:Marshall Ruskin

Hi Volks:

I used my a/c for the first time today, and I wasn't impressed. I wonder if
it works at all.

It didn't blow cool air during the first 3 or 4 minutes. My imagination may
have tricked me into thinking it did get cooler, but I'm not sure.

So, I'm wondering if the a/c is recirculating the warm air, and only over
time will the output get cooler. Basically, what should I expect from the
thing?

Also, I know the a/c clutch works, as I've seen it in action as I turn the
a/c control.

One naive question: here are no control levers that affect the a/c
operation, right? <embarrassed sheepish grin>

TIA
