    HVAC Controls

    OK...the AC doesn't work in my car. I am fine with that, it is 18 years old. The question is that the temperature control switch will not go to either extreme. Physically, the dial stops before it hits what were the stops in the 93 and 88 cars that I had. Has anyone had experience with this?

    Anyone have opinions on the idea that a fuel injector is stuck open, causeing the loss of compression due to the displacement of the oil by the gas? it would also cause the plug to smell like gas and cause the smell of raw fuel to come out of the tail pipe?
