Where does the air go when you accelerate?

Where does the air go when you accelerate?

This is in the ductwork and controls the air path in the ducts. Many of these are vacuum controlled, and the engine vacuum varies as you do thing like accelerate. I used to have a Caravan where the air went to floor vents anytime you accelerated, no matter where the position was set. It would go back to where you put it after accelerating.

When do I press the accelerator, the air is warm?

It doesn’t matter the setting (low-med-high) or whether I have set to defrost or floor or both. When I am actively pressing on the accelerator, the air is hot/warm, as soon as I release the accelerator, the air is cool, not gradually cool, immediately cool (this is very easy for me to identify now that it is below freezing in Minnesota).

What happens to the engine temp when you press the accelerator?

When I am actively pressing on the accelerator, the air is hot/warm, as soon as I release the accelerator, the air is cool, not gradually cool, immediately cool (this is very easy for me to identify now that it is below freezing in Minnesota). The car is NOT overheating. the engine temp stays appropriate.

Why is there no way to accelerate in space?

The problem is that since, space is so empty, there is really no practical way to have energy available for propulsion unless you carry it with you as fuel.

What kind of gas heater works while accelerating?

Courtney Says, “My 2003 Buick Century heater works fine while accelerating but as soon as I release the gas the air begins to cool, swiftly.” Not enough information is leading to guesses. I feel we need some clarification from Courtney.
