A/C question
My A/C suddenly stopped blowing cold, i'm not too familiar with A/C systems so i dont know what to check. All the belts are still on, but i noticed that when i turn it on the fan that is attached to the radiator doesnt turn on, its supporsed to turn on right? Any suggestions what to check? thanks

Re: A/C question (mattL)
My first guess would be if your refrigerant is low (leaked out) then the low-pressure interlock won't let you run it. If you don't have the gauges, then take it to an A/C place to check it out.

Re: A/C question (mattL)
time to recharge (have them look for any leaks also)
the fans come on when the engine heats higher than normal. example while sitting in traffic/stoplight with little air flow

Re: A/C question (mattL)
i take it this is for your 95 gsr, if so then the system is r-a34a and you can buy a recharge kit from checkers or autozone for like $25. it comes with refrigerant, oil, and guages. you will be using the low preassure side of the a/c system which is the zozzle right between the raidator and the valve cover, it should have a blue cap that is screwed on.

Recharge, but look for leaks too. The reason it stops suddenly, is that when the pressure gets low, the low-pressure interlock switch just shuts it down. If you bypass that interlock, then it just gradually gets less effective. But that way you destroy your compressor.
