Traded my del sol for a 93 coupe the guy said the ac worked .. it blows a little cold kinda but not much.. i tried charging it with over the counter stuff .. and it didnt help its filled to the right level but it isnt blowing any colder.. suggestions?

 

To troubleshoot the problem you need to buy or borrow a set of manifold gauges to measure the refrigerant pressure on the low and high sides.

Do you have an R12 system or has it been converted to R134a?

 

r134

 

The stock 93 Civic came with an R12 system, right? If so, what do you know about the R12 to R134a conversion in your Civic? Was it done correctly? Again, low and high side pressure should tell you where the problem is.

 

as far as I know you only need the adaptors they sell at like advace.. etc

 

I don't think those cheap conversion kits are reliable.

 

plus if it was converted to r134, they also recommend changing the ac drier. i had the same problem it ended up being the drier, becuz when it was converted both of the fluids got mixed and ended up contaminated.

 

Im going to buy some gauges and a vacuum pump tomorrow and see whats goin on.

 

look at ur underhood a/c sticker..n see what refrigerant u have. n if u dont have mani gauge, how do u kno if u have the correct amount of refrigerant charge?
