I have used the DYE, and UV Light Detector and Super Sealer, and have sealed the leaks, I added at least 2 refrigerants and the metal lines are like frozen when the engine,a/c is on full blast, but inside the car I dont feel any cold air coming out? what could be the problem?

also is it normal when cold water drips from the hose right under the passenger side of the car?

also does the a/c need a minimum amount of pressure? because when i sealed one of the leaks, i loosened up one of the lines and pressure bursts out. i re tightened it and made sure it had no leaks.

 

any temp differnece when you switch the vents to hot compared to cold? maybe your blend door isnt fully opening and or closing properly.

yes it is normal for water to drip from the evap drain.

a/c does need a min. amnount of pressure, and not only that..it also needs not to exceed the maximum amount of pressure. it wont "cool" as well without the correct amount of freon.

what kind of car so i can look up the correct amount of freon for you.

 

1993 Honda Civic Hatchback DX Model

 

how do i add a min amount of pressure to the A/C? i thought that the refrigerant would solve this problem, because when i loosened one of the lines alot of pressure bursts out, if not alot all the pressure, how do i put pressure back to it? thanks

 

im sorry...i didnt mean pressure. to make it simple for you replace the word pressure with the word freon.

amoutn of freon is the pressure.. you can somehwhat measure the amount of freon by observing the pressure of the high side and low side. (basically saying your overfull...or underfilled and thats it). pressure has a direct relationship with temp. tempature and pressure together can give you an idea of how much freon but it is not 100 percent accurate.

your compressor actually creates the pressure

 

oh okay, so i dont think that's the problem then because i put atleast 2 refrigerants/freons back on there. im not sure why it doesnt cool.

 

are the lines really frozen?


if so thats not supposed to happen

you need to hook up some pressure guages.

the low side needs to be 32 -40 psi

the high side needs to be between 160 and 200 psi

anything over 200 psi and you have a restriction somewhere, too much oil, etc

 

yea they're really frozen. how do i fix this problem?

 

frost buildup is ok.

if it was completly frozen then it wouldnt be dripping.

temopature and pressure are directly related so correct reading of 32 -40psi is just that...32 degrees-40 degrees.

32 degrees is freezing.

if tyhe lines are frozen then the compressor will not engage.

my money is on the blend door not working.. what does your car do on the hot setting?

 

i see the compressor spinning, let me go try when i put it on hot. right now

 

how do i make the water drip down from the passenger side? because yesterday it kinda got cool a bit when i saw it dripping, now its not blowing any cold air and not dripping but the lines are semi frozen.

 

ok i put it on hot while the a/c button is ON(do i turn it off?), and it gets warm and the lines are freezing cold.

 

yopu giove it time to drip...it will take a couple of minutes. water drippin is from the frost buildup and or the actual condensation/evaporation process that the freon goes through.

 

oh ok, the lines are still like frozen, but i dont even feel a slight of cold air coming out.

 

could it be the evaporator? or whatever that is behind the glove compartment?

 

what happens when you turn the dial to hot? and then back to cold? how much of a tempature indifference?

look behind your control panel or under the glove box and follow the cable to the blend door and manual move the cold lever.

 

when i put it on hot, it gets pretty warm, then back to cold it just feels like the fan is on, but i see the compressor spinning and the lines getting frosty. yea i seen the lever move

 

ok from there you need pressure readings both high and low side. without those readings, we are guessing.

 

hmm. ok i bought a new pressure gauge, but when i put it on low pressure the gauge dont move lol or its broken. let me give it a shot again

that same one i bought, slapped on it the low pressure and the needle does not move.

 

ok..i need a high side reading

 

ok its been on, and just started to get a little cold, but only the far right vent is blowing the coldest, the rest are just cool(like kinda fan)

 

if it takes thing long to get cold, what can i do to make it cold a bit faster. its been on for like 20-30mins

 

what are high side readings?

 

i dont have a gauge to check it, i will have to get one tomorrow, but it gets cold only when the "button where it has a arrow in a circle inside the car is on" it goes back to fan(cold) where the "button of the arrow from the outside to the inside of the car is on"
