Well guys I have a problem... my AC is not blowing cold air.. could it be anything else but the freon? And I know the ac is activating because I can turn on the fan and Ill feel the ac come on when I trun the power on.. if that even matters or makes sense lol lol. I drive a 97 civic dx by the way

 

Well first is it blowing hot air or luke warm air? Well if its blowing hot air you have a leak somewhere...if its not hot but a mid temp than its prly just your system needs a recharge....I work at Sears Auto take it there and they will test it for free and tell you if the air blowing out is to hot...make sure you tell them to tell you before they recharge it so you can find somewhere cheaper to recharge it. Any questions PM me.

 

is your a/c compressor in the engine bay cycling off and on?

 

ahem....Check the sig if you end up needing parts..

 

You probably just need R12(freon that doesn't kill). My AC was acting the same way and I just needed a recharge. It's a good thing to do every 30,000 or depending on how often you use the AC.

 

I dun even know, I havent really been noticing. Although I really think its just the freon... I hope so atleast... But I do know that towards the last few months its slowly been getting hotter and hotter, and now its just unbearable lol.

If you don't have a leak and the a/c system has not been opened up, you can just recharge your system w/ r134 from walmart/ pep boys, etc. Get a kit (about $30-40) that includes a gauge and refill the refrigerant from the low side of the a/c system. read the instructions.

very simple to do or go to this link to get more info on how to. use the Screw-in Can Tap Dispensing method in the link

good luck... being w/o a/c sucks!

 

Yea man, tell me bout it... ill definitely give that diy a try... imma have it checked for free first tho just to be sure it just needs a refill heheh

 

hopefull you just need a recharge?

 

proly a recharge

freon is just liquid nitrogen.. and obviously anything that produces cold will get warmer after time

Wrong....

In 1928, Thomas Midgley, Jr. aided by Charles Franklin Kettering invented a "miracle compound" called Freon. Freon represents several different chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs, which are used in commerce and industry. The CFCs are a group of aliphatic organic compounds containing the elements carbon and fluorine, and, in many cases, other halogens (especially chlorine) and hydrogen. Freons are colorless, odorless, nonflammable, noncorrosive gases or liquids.
