most likely your fan/s arent kicking in. when you drive air blows through your radiator/condincer and keeps it cool. your car has two fans one on the condincer/radiator, and one on the radiator. so if your car is overheating then neither are kicking in, but if its normal temp then only your condincer fan isnt kicking in.

 

yea the fans are working for sure they are FAL fans brandnew they turn on but i think i need to put in some more coolant

why would coolant have anything to do w/it? do you mean freon? if so you should'nt need it. if you ac cools while you are driving then it should cool at a stand still........if your fans work

 

things that cause hot air while trying to get cold A/C:

bugs, and debris in your condensor.

fans not working

air blend door not working properly (whether its cable misadjustment or vacuum line problems)

and other less likely problems.

edit: rev it up next time you're sitting still. If revving it helps, then you may need to top it off with refrigerant.

air blend door whats that?

 

its inside the air box under the dash. it blends the heat and A/C properly to give you the right temperature air coming out the vents.

get a helm manual.

 

helm?

its a manual that tells you how to fix/take apart everything in your integra. great investment

quick question, where is the compressor located in 94+ integras?
