1997 civic lx ac question help (in tx 102 degrees)
here is the run down compressor went out a few months ago
well last week i replaced the compressor and dryer it is only cooling around 80 degrees and compressor kicks on and off every couple seconds
i was told putting too much oil in the compressor and dryer can not make it cool enough
what are other ideas

can you tell us the exact procedure you took in replacing/recharging your a/c system? then we might be able to figure out if you don't something wrong, or not

You don't need to vacuum prior to removing the compressor.. but too late now, so use it for future reference.
Was it pulling -29inches of mercury vacuum?
