Water pouring out of floor vents
I have a 97 Accord and it's hot down here in Tx. I've been running the AC for most of the season; and just recently when I take a hard corner I get decent amount water poring out of the floor AC vents.
There is nothing like giving your floor an ice cold bath on your commute to work to get you going for the day.
I'm guessing a drain is clogged somewhere right? Any ideas? Solutions?

I also own a '97 Accord and have the exact same problem. I found that the drain plug on the bottom of the evaporator case was clogged. It is a simple problem to fix. Reach down under the case (directly under the glove box) and you will feel a rubber hose which extends from an attachment on the evaporator case and goes through the floor. Put a towel under this area before you pull this hose out, you may get quite a bit of water. Pull the hose out of the floor and off the case and clean it out. Also, you may have some detritus sitting in the bottom of the case itself and you may need to use a coat hanger to loop around from behind the outlet hole and try to loosen up this junk and let it flow out.
This is the easy part, it takes no more than 10 minutes. The bummer (at least in my case) is that the reason that the outlet on the evaporator case clogs up is that the styrofoam insulation inside the case is disintegrating and falling into the outlet. It is not an easy job to remove this evaporator case to fix this, so this (again, in my case) is a regular job for me. If you notice bits off styrofoam insulation comming out of your AC vents anywhere, then you probably have the same problem.
Hope this helps.
