Re: ECC system switches abruptly from cold air to warm air, when temperature setting is increased from 78 F to 80 F

Thanks for the follow up questions.... really appreciate the input. The car does have the cabin air intake filter installed and there is a newish filter that I installed about 4-6 months ago.
