This dual zone automatic temperature control system uses both electronic and vacuum circuits to determine air intake and discharge locations. Electronic circuits also control mode, A/C compressor clutch operation, fan operation and discharge air temperature.
The driver may select a desired interior temperature, fan speed and one of eight different modes of operation from the system control panel. One of these modes is the fully automatic dual zone mode. In this mode the system determines the appropriate air intake, discharge locations, fan speed and discharge air temperat...

BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo AUTOMOBILES
Power Brake Units -> General Service
Vehicle: 1997 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 3.4 V6 GAS
Two basic types of power assist mechanisms are used: vacuum assist diaphragm assemblies, which use engine vacuum or, in some cases vacuum pressure developed by an external vacuum pump. The second type is a hydraulic pressure assist mechanism, which use pressure developed by an external pump (usually the power steering pump). Both systems act to increase the force exerted on the master cylinder piston by the operator. This in turn increases the hydraulic pressure delivered to the wheel cylinders, while decreasing driver effort necessary to obtain acceptable stopping performance.

Do not smoke or allow an open flame of any type when working on or near any fuel system related components. The highly flammable vapor mixtures may ignite, resulting in serious personal injury.
Prior to disconnecting fuel lines, the fuel system pressure must be relieved to prevent accidental spray of fuel.
After the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, some abnormal driveability symptoms may occur. The vehicle may need to be driven while the vehicle relearns its adaptive strateg...
