I have a 94 civic dx. The a/c works and blows cold but it doesnt blow that hard. What do think is the problem? Is it the blower motor or do need to evacuate the system and recharge with new oil and freon? Whats ur thoughts It's too damn hot in Tampa

 

it's has to do with your switch or fan system, and nothing to do with freon.

 

does it change when you turn it from inside recirculate to outside vent?

 

How about the evaporator under the dash? most of the time those get plugged up with leaves and junk making it harder for the air to flow through it.

 

does a/c air go thru the cabin filter?

people never notice that those need to be changed occasionally as well

 

92-95 civics didn't have cabin filters.

 

sounds like the a/c blower... its behind the glove box and its a plastic big box sometimes it gets clogged up or it slowly stops to work...

 

X2, OP I would check that out, sometimes the motor that moves the flap will go bad. If you have the fan on and its on Re-Fresh, when you click the Re-Circulate button the fan should start blowing more air at you. You can also drop your glove box down and see the door flap to see if its moving when you click the buttons.

No need to notice that on a 5th gen, they don't have cabin filters like the other guy said.

 

Did you check the lever on the vent on the top of your dash? If it's set towards the windshield, you won't get much coming out of the front vents as it's being directed to the defrost vents. If you pull that lever towards you, it will direct the air out the front vents.

Just because the cabin doesn't have a filter doesn't mean it shouldn't be cleaned. Nor that it can't become clogged. Right?

 

If you try to clean that thing, it'll rip and fall apart because it's old and no one touched it. But you get fresh air. I've done it before. Just very delicate.

OP. Turn off the air vent.

 

Yeah I second that.. I just got in from trying and the clips that are in the back... yeah, not worth it. -_-

 

buy it dinner and take it to a play, or some type of musical, that **** always gets things blowing hard.

 

South Park....

 

Check the blower resisitor because that controls your low, med and high on the motor. Sometimes they go bad and it will only blow on a certain speed.

 

This was an old thread but if it helps anybody on my 93 del sol I had a similar problem and I dropped my fan blower motor and found a lot of old oak leaves built up in the impeller. My car hasn't been parked near an oak tree for at least 4 years that I know of Ha. So I cleaned out all the junk and I also noticed that the factory wire connector to the blower motor had a lot of corrosion/green and broken wires. This connector draws a lot of current and you get a lot of heat. I cleaned that up and it made a big difference. I also eventually changed the blower resistor and blower relay because there was a lot of current running thru the bad connection and may have effected the relay.

 

just remove the blower fan from under glove box and clean it out. It's likely clogged up with debris and leaves and whatnot. I did the same to mine and it wasn't even all that clogged but it made a world of difference.

 

Yeah this seems much more practical

 

​​QUOTE I'm having the same exact problem with the blower from my AC not blowing hard enough they used to blow pretty well at one time until they didn't? Can someone please help me with this?
