	Without looking at it, I'd say it's your programmer.  Simple
	work-around: reach into the far right corner of your glove-box
	and push the programmer arm left (while the climate control
	is set at 60F, Auto). If it's a problem with your programmer,
	you should feel the arm slowly move left and you should start
	getting as cool air as your air-conditioner can muster.

	My '85 5KT has had a flaky programmer ever since I bought it,
	but I haven't gotten around to taking it apart yet. I know some
	folks on the net have been able to fix it, though it is supposed
	to be a replacement part. Apparently the problem is (if I
	remember Zafer's diagnosis correctly) some kind of worn friction
	drive inside which starts slipping.

	Hope that helps!

	-Arun
