AC vacuum hoses
1998 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L. No recent work done to the AC unit.
Just very recently, whenever I have my AC on and step on the gas pedal it causes all air to start coming out of my defrosters only regardless of what setting its currently on but as soon as my foot isn't touching the gas, the air comes out of the proper vents again. It kinda sounds like a vacuum hose issue, I just don't know where to start.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

I could probably grab that real quick from a dealer huh? Couldn't hurt to try. Check valve inside the vacuum storage can, got it!
