I bought my 1998 honda civic about 3months ago and everything's been working great. Just this past week I haven't been using my ac since the weather has been a lot cooler, but now it's freaking hot again. I go to turn on my A/C today and the cold air wasn't blowing any cold air it was more warm than anything. What could be the possibly be the issue with the a/c would it just need a recharge? Any suggestions would be awesome thanks.

 

With the A/C button pushed, does both the condenser fan run and the compressor clutch engage?

 

yes it does.

 

take it to kwik-fit they can try a re-charge if it works its 44.95 if it doesnt theres no charge i know this because i run a kwik-fit depot lol but havent came across a honda that a recharge hasnt worked on

 

^^ check what RonJ@HT said as your a/c system usually doesn't just crap out on you without running it for only a week. I've gone almost a whole winter without turning on my a/c and when I did it worked great the first time.

 

You may have a refrigerant leak. If you have a manifold gauge set, you can verify that the R134a refrigerant pressure is low in the system and safely recharge it. You may want to refill with refrigerant containing a special dye that allows you to detect the location of the leak with a UV light.

 

SAVE YOURSELF ALL THIS HASSLE THE MACHINE WE HAVE CAN DETECT LEAKS
no air-con charge no fee and if it works then bobs your uncle

 

sorry just realised everyone whos on this topics in a different country lol awell would have worked if you were in scotland lol

 

Lots of possibilities, but one to consider is the solder joints in the heater control unit circuit board are failing. See http://honda.lioness.googlepag...oning . This has come up with others a few times here at honda-tech.com .
