Hey guys, i have a 98 honda accord ex auto..
my ac wasnt blowing cold air and i got the kit that comes with the 2 cans 134 and it started blowing colder air than it was before but i still dont think its cold enough. On days when the temperature is moderate outside that ac is alright but when it gets really hot outside the ac cools but not enough as it should in my opinion.. How do i get my ac to blow frigid cold air?

 

Get the freon captured.
Vacuum the system.
Check for leaks while holding charge.
If any, find the leaks, repair.
Charge system.

 

Heh, I have the same problem. Im going to check for leaks but I dont think there is any. My car blows cold, the same coldness it did when I bought it back in February so there probably isnt any leaks. But I dont feel it blows as cold as it should. It keeps the cabin cool when its on max, but not cold like other cars.

 

ac systems cant drop below 34 deg to ambiant temps ... I would get it checked for leaks and get it recharged

 

How exactly can one check for leaks? Is there like a bubble solution or UV light tester that auto part stores sell? And also how can the freon be captured? I have the feeling my car also leaks freon since it only cools for about 2 days after being recharged then goes back to blowing warm air.

 

Put UV dye in it then use a UV light to check for leaks.

 

should i add another can of freon i put two already

 

what is the temperature drop between outside air and air coming out of the vent?

 

ericthecarguy very helpful info. changing receiver could be a potential upgrade to blowing cold air. vacuum helps to burn moisture out of the ac lines

to get the ac recoverd your going to have to go to a shop.. There are cans that have uv die in them and you just do what you have before.

 

That would be a waste of money. Get to the bottom of the issue first.

 

What were the high and low readings and under what conditions?
