Wet Left Turns

[Bell]

After a forcefull left turn a considerable amount of liquid pours out from behind the glove box onto the floor boards. It's cold and oderless and if I had to guess I would say it's water, probably condensate.

So the thrity five cent question of the day is, "What is it and what should I do about it?"

[sammm]

There's a condensation drain that goes thru the floorboard. Make sure it is connected securely and/or not clogged.

Since sammm has already solved this tough riddle, I'll add some anecdotal humor...

A decade or so ago, Mokey was riding in my '83 RX7 and managed to kick the condensate line loose (rx7gslse can attest to how easy this is to accomplish). It was a humid north Georgia day, and she apparently didn't feel it urgent to let me know it was getting rather damp in the floor...

By the time I noticed it, the red sea had formed. My sympathy goes to the poor vacuum at the pay 'n' spray.

I had the same issue in my '91... turns out the cover that was over the ECU was badly rusted due to the condensation. Since you have a '97, I don't think that should be a problem for you...
