weird A/C problem
I'm helping my friend trying to figure out why his 95 civic a/c isn't cold since he can't speak/type English well. Last year he charged up his A/C system and apparently he overdid it because it blew up while driving. He replaced the compressor and recharged it. His A/C is blowing cool but not cold. The weird part is that if he spray cold water in front of the condenser the A/C blows cold again. I apologize in advance I'm not familiar with Honda in general so bare with me.

The receiver/drier should have been replaced when the compressor was replaced. The system also should have been dried with Nitrogen and evacuated before recharging.
If the fan is turning on properly, then you'll need to take it to a shop that specializes in A/C work. You would need special and expensive tools to do the troubleshooting.

You can recharge it yourselves from a kit, but you have to be careful not to overcharge it like before. More than likely it has a small leak and if the coolant pressure drops i know it will cause the temp at which it blows to get warmer.

Do you have manifold gauge set? In the shade, what are the high and low side pressures with the engine running at 1500 rpm and the A/C running on MAX cool? Also mention the outside temperature when these measurements are made.
