Re: (Turbo E 604)
the presure on the low presure system is fine..I've already tested that, it looks like the high presure hose might have sprung a leak when I got in a wreck in the past, anyone know how to test that?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: (nixadm)
At work we always recover any refridgerant in the system then pressurize the system to 300-400psi with nitrogen then if you dont hear and o-rings blow out spray down al your componets (lines, compressor, condensor,ect.) if the system is holding pressure then you are fine. it sounds to me as though your compressor has either took a crap on you or your expansion valve or orfice tubr is got trash in it from where the compressor has come apart. I have seen it before where the compressor clutch and everything comes on as always but it is not working properly. maybe my 2 cents worth helps.

sorry Honda only use TXV's
The only thing that can help us diagnose this problem is for you to tell us what your pressure readings are.. Now give me one at idle and one with your car running at 2000 RPM.
