Default problems with a/c completely stumped HELP!

When i got my swap done i requested to keep my a/c only thing he changed was compressor from a crv due to the fact my motor is a b20. so he filled it up when i got there to pick up my car because it had nothing....

I'm driving home with the a/c on i hear (pressurized air escaping from i dont know where) idle is horrid , cant catch my shifts ....

we tried twice before i took it to another shop "firestone" a little more respectable well known shop....i paid over 200 bucks to get it checked,refilled they added ice w/e

im driving home and the same thing i hear pressurized air escaping ...when at a light when compressor kicks on idle drops hella low...then up....car blows cold air but feels like i've lost 50+ horses


they said everything looked good from the test at firestone .....im going back on saturday im pissed ...help me out here guys




crv compressor , i havent changed my condenser its still same from old sohc motor....could that be my problem?

no check engine...it has nothing to do with my IACV car idles FINE with out a/c on, Car fines beautiful with out a/c on,

Did you replace the receiver/dryer?
You should anytime the system is opened for any period of time.

First off, take you car to a reputable A/C expert rather than throwing your time and money at knuckleheads. In addition, to get help at HT, you need to get answers to questions asked by members, such as the ones asked by fcm here:
