Need a little help

So i think i have a vaccum leak but just not sure where. When i run my A/C it likes to switch back and forth to defrost and vents on its own. Would my leak be under the dash or posibly the switch its self. One other Question i have is about fuel injector flushing, is it worth it or would running a can of cleaner through be the same thing. Reason i ask is it seems like my truck is lacking a lot of power here latly. I'm gonna clean the intake and throttle body sometime to start but was wondering about the injector flush. Thanks for the help all.

The only thing i have ever hear of actually making a difference on fuel systems is BBK44. I get it from my local Arnolds store.

It worked good so far. Also its a bit more pricey than some of the other name brands.

I ran Seafoam into the vacuum line and added to the tank. I seemed to help idle and hesitation.

You may have the vacuum line the runs though the firewall in the process of breaking and causing your HVAC problem. Good luck!
