I just did a R134 conversion 2 my a.c. and its still blows stupid ass hot air, how the hell do I fix it without going 2 the expensive ass mechanics..

ARE YOU SURE THE SETTINGS ARE ON COLD AND NOT HOT?? LOL. sorry. just a joke.

did you put in the right amount of r134. if you can can get a pressure kit and test to see if you pressure is at the right amount. if it isnt. test again a few minutes later to see if you have a leak.

where most likely would there b a leak in the cb systems?

[roostaccord91]

if you converted it from r12 then check all ur gaskets and connections that you change out. you might have tightened on to tight and it sort of warped it out of place. pretty much thats where i would start myself before takin it to a mechanic. my brothers are both certified in refigeration and and one is a mechanic in the air force so that kinda a helps me. in matter of fact my air force brother is in orlando gettin certified to work on honda motors. well v-6 that is. anyway so yeah. check all ur connections first.

o rings

There is also a kit they sell with freon with a dye in it that you use a florescent light to see where it is leaking from. If your car had no r12 in it to begin with you have a leak somewhere. R12 cools better than R134a and nobody switches over from R12 just to do it.

Yeah its definitely a leak

First make sure your compressor is working. Air will blow beacause of your blower motor is on. Second check to see how much freon is needed. I believe if your car requires 2lbs r-12 it will need 3.5lbs of 134a (note these figures are not exact it has been 4 years since I have done this). Third Once you have your figures right go to Walmart or an auto part store. They will have a big can of 134a which also has leak sealer, o ring lube and oil for the compressor. Your system will have leaked some oil as well. Fill it up and if done properly you will have cold air. If you have a small leak the sealer should work. If not hopefully it is slow and you just add a can of freon once every few months or a summer.

Hopefully this helps (I am not a mechanic but like you did not want to spend alot of money. This worked on my car for 4 years till the tranny and motor died good old chevy lasted 255,000 miles.) Please becareful if your not sure ask questions.

The compressor is the black cylinder looking thing in the back right? Also I believe its working because my idle changes when I turn on my hot ass a.c. is the o ring in the compressor? does ne1 have a schematic of the cooling system for me?

Where ever you see a coupler on the system there is an O-Ring in there. Check your fittings see if they are leaking from there. You should hear your compressor *click* when it turns on. It will do that constantly. Who did your conversion? Did you take out the R12 that was in the system? You need to vacuum it out before anything else.

[Nikee110736]

yea I killed the ozone layre when I did it. I installed it myself I even watched the *** ass video that came with it along with the written instructions..btw, where would the coupler fittings b located?

[NAiL05]

Prob still got some r12 oil in there. r134+r12 oil = no no.

[Nikee110736]

how the hell do I get it out?

[NAiL05]

You need a machine to pull a vacuum on it to get it out. Thats why I asked if you vacuumed it out.

[Nikee110736]

where would I get that from cause i need cold air asap, summer heat is a pain in the ass
