I've been getting this smoke like mist from my AC vents. I seen it 1 or 2 times on the 02 I had, but this car I see it all the time. It's not hot, AC works fine. I just see this smoke coming from the vent. It comes & goes. Anyone else see this? Is this a sign of a dirty cabin filter?

 

Smoke or humidity?

You'll see the dense air sometimes on days when the outside air is very humid, usually just for a second or two, as the A/C is a reasonable air dehumidifier.

 

Ive seen it on my 97 on a few occasions as well. It's humidity related and pretty much normal.

 

You've been somkin too many blunts in there and the smoke got trapped in your AC

 

It could be something very serious. go smell your floor mats and tell us what they smell like.

 

It's fairly common. It's due to the humidity. If it stinks, then you got a problem...see Acura.

 

No smell. It's not a heater core or something. I had that happen on a ford truck before.

 

Did you smell the floor mats though?

 

Condensation. No biggie. All A/C systems will do it under the right conditions. I've even seen it on planes.

 

Normal. My previous MR2 did this when i had the AC on economy mode (you know, on-off-on-off). The interier air temp/humidity is the reason. Once the air is de-humidified, it should stop.

 

It humidity that is being taken out of the car.

If u see the mist/steam for 10-15 sec and it goes away it is humidity. Something that I see here in humid S Fla.
