k, so i was drivin today idling at a stop light, at it was 95 out, so of course i had the A/C on, but as push the gas, i hear this really loud sizzle sound, so i pull over and i see FREE-ON everywhere all over my tranny and radiator hoses, here is a pic:


so i was wonderin is there anything that is supposta be there? because it looks like it does

no one is the safety high pressure blow off valve for the compressor and the other is the slave cylinder for the clutch. what happen was either the valve went bad or the pressure got to high

jeremyrocksursox

oh, alright, so what valve are you talkin about? and if it was just the pressure got to high, what should i do?

JarvisW

Are you sure it was freon? As said above, thats not your A/C.

Freon usually evaporates in seconds. (or less)

jeremyrocksursox

yeah im pretty sure, i checked all my raidator hoses and everything nothing came loose, i looked at the headgasket and it didn't look like anything was wrong there, so i dunno where to start, im going to be takin it to my mechanic on monday and ill ask him i guess

JarvisW

Yeah, now that I see it again, it might be. The freon may evaporate, but the A/C oil wont. Tho its just ester oil, so it wont harm anything if wiped off rubber etc.

Could have been overloaded as said, and it just let off the pressure. Problem is, why did it get over pressured? Did you just work on it?

XKINGX

the system may have been charged on a cool day and not charged properly. so the hotter day caused higher pressure blowing the check valve or I have seen valves just go bad.

jeremyrocksursox

Alrigt cool, yeah i didnt know if it was going to harm anything or not, but Yeah my A/C got worked on about 3 weeks ago, I needed a new evaprator and he recharged it and all that, but if it was a bad valve, it is easy to replace? And how should I go about testing it?

jeremyrocksursox

Yeahh lol

Take it back to the place that worked on it, sounds like they messed something up

XKINGX

its easy to fix... its just screwed in right there on the back of the compressor. order a new one and slap it in then recharge it or u could just take it back to the shop that did the work

jeremyrocksursox

do you know where i can order a new one? or do you know the part # for honda? i checked on majestic honda and i couldn't find it
