Re: refrigerant (crxdx89)

Well, if you have the 94 civic then it should be R134. You can also look at the fitting to tell as well. If it has thread on the outside of the fitting then it's r-12. If it's the push in kind then it's r134. I'm pretty sure if you have a 94 it's R134.

Don't almost all cars have R134 in them now?

Yes. Honda began the use of 134a I believe in 93. Could have been as early as 92.
