background: Guy says rig started running like crap. Took to trusted local mechanic and replaced injectors. Didn't solve problem. So replaced distributor cap instead and BAM fixed . . . runs good now. This happened last week.

Front cabin A/C doesn't blow cold. Turned on Rear A/C and it blows cold. Under hood, pump kicks on. Just no cold air for front vents. Seller never noticed before, assumes something didn't get hooked up last week while at shop.

Also, I noticed pressure in the break pedal. When breaking, relatively hard, pressure coming back like a pump. Not all at once, but more like rhythmic (dont really know how to describe). Like a heart beat or something in the pedal.

Thanks yall
 
96-99 vortec known for dist cap/rotor problem in high moisture zones . and also injector spyder problems. and thay eat dist drive gears also.

a/c could be a bad blend door problem. if cold in back also then its all working as same compressore feeds both. so look in to the a/c-heat box blend doors not working as thay should for the front. there is a company i see time to time promoted on the car/truck shows on tv that has parts to fix these with out removing the whole box.

and if brakes pulse at 5mph or less then its called a abs stop . = wheel bearing going out in front as the grease and junk inside it is pluging up sensor . or the rust has built up under the sensor to the wheel bearing body and picked it up off a few tho of a inch and out of spec for distance to tone ring.
 
Thanks sweetk30.

The wheel bearing seems like a bummer. It looks like it burns a little bit of oil. Is it possible a little bit of oil buildup/debris that could be cleaned out?
