MY LIDDLE RED 1994 Honda Accord EX WAGON
I am second owner of a 1994 Accord EX station wagon.
QUESTION: The A/C in my wagon has been in use when appropriate over all the years, but has always been pretty weak.... Truly nonexistent flow into the back seats.
Any ideas on how to juice up the AC flow for better coverage?
I have had the wagon since 52K miles in 1997; it was a California car, perfectly maintained by the original owner, a UCLA professor.
My wagon is a daily driver and has 213K on it. It runs great, but now has some odd chatter SOMETIMES when I step on the brakes at a good speed. Not always, but sometimes.
A jerk T-boned me on the front passenger side wheel rim, so he may have bent my rim? How do I check that out?
The jerk and his crappy insurance cheated me out of paying for damage to my wheel well, front bumper and I believe my rim....
I had a set of brand new Michelins that night, too GRRRRRRR!!!
Another jerk backed into me and broke my rear bumper. His El Cheapo insurance company (Esurance) refused to give me more than $480 towards it's replacement!!! I see the bumpers are $1080 online and they need to be swapped out and painted to match car.
So the busted clip lets the bumper sag over the wheel well...
It makes me so mad when I see it! On Driver's side OF COURSE!!!

I AM A HONDA FAN FOR LIFE, BUT I KINDA NEED A TRUCK....
Wish Honda would make a smaller truck or a bigger truck....I just don't get why they came up with the truck they did....
Anyway, this is my situation.... I'll be around looking for some advice / assistance. YAXABIT

over time dirt and debris can build up on the condenser, making the system less efficient
you can grab some ac coil cleaner in the can and rinse the condenser down then spray the foam on all over the fins and then wait 30 minutes and then spray it off
it's also possible you may have a leak or the compressor itself could just be old and weak, you can have a shop recover all of the refrigerant and then pick up a compressor and install it, along with a new receiver/dryer, then go back and have them evacuate the system for an hour and then recharge it to spec

P.S. The AC in this car was always weak and I bought it in 1997.... 100% factory stock except I had it repainted in 2013 or 2014. I LOVE MY CAR.
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE ADVICE, holmesnmanny.
