Default AC Question

Just picked up a 98 4 door and it has a/c but it's just not as cold as it should be. What should I do? Thanks!

Ok, so I went and bought one of those do it yourself recharge kits (im sure everyone has seen these) and I went to charge/measure the low side and I saw this <U>BEFORE</U> I started charging.


So, this means my system is charged fully. Correct?





The A/C does blow semi-cold air but I defonetly dont think it's at par with coldness.
What else could be the problem?

drain out the old and put in the new.

if that doesnt work, get a new condensor.

that is what i was told by my mechanic.

but i dont believe him.

he actually made my a/c worse. it was colder before.

but after he re-filled it, it doesnt feel cold for ****.

he told me i need a new condensor.

i was wondering if that guage is pretty much similar to any recharge kit that they sell at pepboys because mine does not have a color indicator like his, but it has psi numbers on them...thanks

Was your compressor running when your gauge had that reading?

it is because you have moisture in your lines . you need to put the ac system into a vacume for 1 min and then refill this will work i am certafied in ac . them do it your self ac kits are not 100% so you do not get the correct oil to r134 ratio for your ac system any way
