hey guys i dont' know why but i flet that my AC wasn't cooling enough so i took it to auto zone and they told me that it was low on gas. so i bought the proper gas for it the R 134A and i put it in all of the sudden i was looking at the compressor and it started to spiting the gas out from the valve benith it they guy told me that it needed more so i bought another car of the same gas and put it in it took it all the way again and it started spitting out even more so i stoped and the compressor kept goin off for like 20 min's and spitting some sort of oil out finally it start spittig less and less of that **** out but i could see that the compressor was still goin off every 5 sec i went inside the car i noticed warm air coming out i mean it wasn't cooling at all. s i called the guy back and hey took that plug for the compressor of of that little cylender shaped container with all the metal hoses and he put a paper clip in the tow hose of the wire and my compressore start working and spit out even more of the fluid out and than it stopped spiting completely but the compressor was still going off rapidly now every 10 secs lets say right now it's cooling the air so much that i can't even stay in the car but the time that the cmpressor goes off it's getting back to normal so do you guys think that the compressor goin off is every once in bit is normal is it gona get correcte it self or is there a problem with it. i don't know what to do and i'm really ****ed up so please some of you have more about this stuff than i do tell me if i should be worried or not if yes what should i do to fix this.

 

The same exact thing happened to me last weekend. The R134a gas was coming out of the compressor area. Mine would not even let me add any refrigerant. I did the trick with the plug, so the compressor remains on the entire time. But my A/C still blows some what warm air. I am also confused on this one!!!

 

you better make sure that your cooling fans are on,sounds like you put too much in and the fans are not on to cool the condensor,you will ruin your comp.

Have you tried putting in another can of gas?

 

Low refrigerant is not the only reason that A/C stops working. If your knowledge of A/C involves pushing the button in the car and turning the temp. **** down, no offense meant but you should probably take your car to a professional. When you nuke your compressor from overcharging the system you will wish you' had spent the $100 to get it diagnosed correctly.

I'm sick and stuck at work and didn't feel like typing the same thing twice for two people that posted the same problem.

It was a good answer and fit both threads

It's amazing how the same related threads pop up all at once when people start searching.

 

I think this is actually #3 for the day.

I think there are a number of people here that don't have a clue about that.
