[RESOLVED] cabin air filter

[highboostintsi]

does a 93 talon have a cabin air filter?

No 1g or 2g does.

Sorry to bring back an old thread but what filters the air we breathe inside the cabin then?

Your nose unless your a mouth breather.

Nothing.

Good thing I have a lot of nose hairs.

I knew they would come in handy.

I was always wondering if our cars actually had a saloon air filter. Well, it looks like one less thing to worry about.

i thought the vibrating sound i hear when i kick my heater to high was my air filter box. it sounds like its coming from behind the glove box... i took a look from the underside and am under the impression that my fan sits there... if there is no filter, then i'm not hearing the filter box rattle, and all the screws i can get to without taking the glove box out are tight... anyone else have this problem? a way to fix the rattle?

fix the rattle by turning it down a notch.

you got something in the squirrel cage. Only way to fix the rattle is to take it apart and dump the junk out.

I know on a 1G that's where the blower motor is and it looks like that's where it is on a 2G. Have you dropped the motor and checked to make sure there isn't any dead critters or other junk in there?

Beat out while posting

it only rattles when its on the second setting, and the high setting... low and third are quiet. my brother said its probably just the fan. my guess is that its caked with dust.

so, do i need to take any screws out other than those ones on the bottom of the fan case to get it off?

i just hope whatever i find in there is dead. haha...

So where is the air drawn in from? The blower?

 

[91-GS]

On a 1G outside air comes in through driver's side grill (right up by the windshield), travels through the structure of the car over to passenger side, there it gets into the blower fan, and comes out at whatever vents are open. For re-circulation air is pulled in around where passenger foot/leg area is.

It is possible to install a filter on the incoming outside air, simply pull out the vent grill and install a washable filter (like 'cut to size' washable filter for household A/C), then snap the grill back and it will hold the filter in place.

Hmm...Then why does my vent smell like piss when i turn it on...Seriously it smells like piss.

Your a/c system has mold/ mildew or bacteria in it. Try using an a/c deodorizer spray such as this one:

Make sure that the blower doesn't look like this:

Okay thanks guys, and i'm guessing if i dont have A/C in my car any more its probably just junk in the blower motor.

WTF Steve..Stop pulling a grand theft auto with your 1g and running over mounds of chickens..
