Just go anywhere where they sell freon r134 and get a couple of those cans, and a hose with a gauge on it. Turn the car on and the a/c on all the way and try to fill er up in the LOW port. The hose should only fit one side.

Then if that doesnt work, then you better do some research because I dont feel like typing that much. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Dont know if that makes sense. Anyways i doubt the compresser is bad if it still worked before the accident, mine was oout of freon for 2 years and i just recharged it last month blows super cold </TD></TR></TABLE>

These are the directions i'm going on, anything else that was left out by honda accord & russian swty (which i doubt there was) would be beneficial to me before i mess somethin up.


I'm guessing i should wait until the engine temp is low or should i do it while it's cooling down...

this is what i'm using, my understanding is to use the gauge and keep the psi between 25 and 44.

 

Are you aware that its illegal to change an AC system that is known to be leaking? I would try and find the leak first, however, you should just take it to a shop so it can be done properly.

 

Car needs to be running with a/c on high....what accord manual do you have?

 

i got a reading of 90 psi, then 100 psi..still no cold air tho. that reading can't be right but i dont wanna risk it.

whoaaaaa, you must of tried to charge it on the high pressure side. You must charge the ac on the low pressure side.

 

it is on the lp side that's the weird thing.

i turned the car on,

then i turned the ac on (max)

and then i put the host w/ gauge on.

are those steps sequenced wrong or not?

 

unsuccessful, my reading refers me to professional help. i'm gonna go with my instincts because i dont wanna damage what might not be damaged.
