Another question for those mechanical minded folks on this site. I have a 96 Accord EX with 129 k miles. I had my AC serviced last month at the dealer. They replaced one of the high pressure hoses that had a leak and serviced the AC. My AC is on the max. settings with the mode for interior only air circulation and you feel just enough cold air compared to the heat outside to leave your windows up. I checked the low pressure valve and it shows in the green and correct amount of refrigerant. What else can be done to make the AC colder? Everything is working but the max. setting feels like it should be the cars low or medium setting. Is my only option a new condenser?




Thanks again for any help in this matter of my cam seal issue....

 

Your heater valve maybe not in fully closed position. Open the hood and look at the passenger side, you should be able to find two water hoses leading to firewall under the intake air duct. There is a valve in one of those two hoses. Move the valve arm towards front of the car to its fully closed position. If the a/c works fine when this valve is closed, you’re a/c system is ok and you will need to adjust the heater valve cable.
