That sucks...

If you are handy, you can buy an aspirator out of an Acura or Chrysler, 
and modify it to fit in the car.   Transfer the thermo pill so that you 
don't screw up your HVAC calibrations, and enjoy.    This aspirator is 
made by Nippon Denso, and is one of the best on the market.   Your asp 
flows about .3cfm.   The N-D part flows about twice that.   That should 
make your response time a little better.
