I just got a 96 honda accord. when i first got it the ac wasn't working, asked around about it and got several different answers.
First answer was from the buyer, that the relay fuse was bad.
2nd was that is was a electrical
3rd was that it was low on freon.
Well i checked all 3, turns out a wire was loose (the regulator wire) so i connected it back and change the relay fuse with 1 out of a old accord and i added more freon... After doing all this i got the a/c to work it blows very cold even at just 1, but my problem is that after about 10 minutes the a/c cuts out....any suggestions??

 

Maybe too much freon?

 

so this happens when too much freon is added?

 

It sounds like the evaporator core is icing up, not allowing air to circulate through it.
This can be caused by either dirt / debris in the expansion valve, an overcharged system or water (condensation) in the refrigerant system.

Dirt / debris will cause an uncontrolled restriction.
Overcharging will cause the refrigerant to flood the core and not do the 'change of state' thing in the wrong place.
Water will cause ice to build up in the expansion valve, acting much as dirt / debris does.

I'd suggest having the system drawn to vacuum (18") for about 30 minutes to boil off any moisture and have it recharged by volume. The gauge method isn't always reliable.

thanks you guys i tried letting out some of the freon out and this time it lasted for like and hour or 2 b4 cutting out again.... so i pulled over to let out more freon but now the freon is starting to come out in a yellow liquid form instead of a (gassy) air form. What does this mean?

 

That could be the refrigerant oil that you would expect to see (if it's oily) or indications of moisture (which you should not find) that got into the system.

yea its oily so how do i solve this problem?? the a/c is really cold even at 1 its just that after and hour or so it cuts out and only cuts back in if i turn the car of for like 5-10 minutes.

 

i took a look at the evaporator after cutting of the a/c there was alot of lint at the vent and the section on the left side was really really cold. but i don't have water dripping on the floor i would assume this is OK? is it supposed to be that cold?.... and i let out more freon this time its coming out as air and a yellow oily liquid

 

i have a 96 accord auto and somtimes the tranny sticks in park i'll have to use the key lock release in order to shift from park to drive does anyone know why this is happening? and it also shift hard from time to time when driving can someone offer some advice to solving my problem
