Front Vents close up during medium to hard acceleration

Glad to see you used the search feature first. What you found is just what it is, it is either the recirc servo or the dual servo. I have done more of the dual servo than I have the recirc. The best way that I have found to diagnose it is to pull the vacuum lines, plug them, and drive it. I have one of the old worn out dual servos that I plugged the ports on that sits in the special tool cabinet just for this job. When you plug the servo lines that cause it to quit defaulting to defrost/floor then you have found your bad servo. My own daily driver is a '93/960 and has been playing this silly game for probably a year or more now and I just have not gotten around to it, obviously I do not live in Vegas. I have had customers request to just leave it plugged and run without the floor/defrost setting as it is not cheap to stick one of these servos in and it does not overly hurt my feelings 'cause they can be just a bit of a bitch to do.

If I had to guess I would say that it is the dual servo over by the
accelerator pedal. You know my brother lived in Vegas for a few years and he said the town was great and that there where only three things he did not like about it, June, July, and August. Get that a/c fixed.
