Been having issues with my AC - its a black 96 Accord so when its mid-day and the hottest, the AC will not make the cabin a comfortable temp. Not the biggest deal since I really only use it early in the morning and at night when temperatures are cool still. It blows cold at those times. Just had the freon re-charged last October and didnt find any leaks with dye. The only thing that was dripping was condensation from the AC system (I live in a very humid environment).

Any experience fixing this without going to a service shop? - they want to charge me $90 just to do a pressure test and I dont want to pay that.

Is it most definitely the Compressor just losing power? How can I know for sure? If not the compressor, what else could it be?

 

Turn the ignition to II(ON) turn your AC ON, full fan speed,
Do any of the radiator fans come on?

 

It's turned all the way on with both Radiator fans running while on full blast.

 

With the engine running and the AC turned on does the compressor clutch engage the compressor itself?
Had a compressor clutch go bad years ago, compressor was fine.

 

I think I understand your question. I know that the Compressor is spinning when the car is turned on.
