    A/C wont blow cold

    as topic stated. my a/c doesn't blow cold air. summer is almost near so i need to get this fixed. read some old threads... and here's what i've been doing. would have it recharge... blow cold air for awhile, then back to hot air. i was told that there might be a leak in one of the hoses? how much is to get those replaced? do i need a new a/c compressor unit too? TIA!!

        hmm , Im a noob when A/C comes coz I never had A/C on.. To much money to burn..


        Anyway , the pulley of the compressor will have like a triangular image ont he pulley. It will surele say Denso or something then the word compressor.

        It's close to the crank pulley. Right below the power steering system I think.

            You need gauges to properly see whats up. Or you can be ghetto get something and push down the schrader valve and see if anything shoots out. YOu could be just low on freon which would indicate a leak there are a lot of options for this.

              check the a/c fuse in the fuse panel under the drivers side. one time mine wasn't blowing cold at all, then i looked under and checked a fuse and found one that was blown. so i put in a new one and freakin snow air started to blow again.

                alright. thanks for the quick replies everyone. so i'll check where the compressor's located which is below the alternator basically. then check if there's any leaks near there. then check the fuse box to see if there's a blown fuse. hopefully, this will clear things up w/o having to get a new unit.


                okay, so i checked. everything seems to be okay. SEEMS. i have no idea how to check for leaks... as for the blown fuse. i haven't checked yet. how much does a whole unit replacement cost if i were to get it done?

                  okay so i found the leak. the tube or piping that goes from the a/c unit compressor below the alternator to the other side of the engine bay behind the radiator has a big gash on it. shouldn't that tube be made out of rubber instead of the foil looking tube wrapped with some bandages looking thing?? anyway, how much would it cost you to just replace that tubing? my friend who works at the tech from honda told me i have to bring that to an a/c specialist because i wouldn't want to get frost bite if that thing leaks onto my body or face!

                    i would just take it off so you can have some free hp. LOL! it could be that the condesor is rotted and leaking. i replaced my radiator last year and found out that the condesor was rotted and took it out. now i just need to take the compressor off so the engine isnt wasting hp to turn it for no reason.

                      The only thing you are turning is the pulley, it won't run the actual compressor unless you have refrigerant in the lines, and have the A/C on inside the car. Only reason to remove it would be weight savings.

                        that should be the discharge line i think. mine was leaking r12 out one of the ends and had to be replaced. It cost me about a 100 bucks at the dealer and then i took it to get fixed at my mechanic. But lately my a/c feels lilke its not getting as cold as it could be. I had it recharged but its still not ICE cold like r12 should be. idk how to test to see if a compressor is operating at its peak effienciency but i think thats my prob. right now since its 14 yrs old i might have to get that replaced. AZ sucks in the summer

                          This is very true...I'm over in phoenix btw. My ac blows cold but it kinda take a while for it to do it. Like it has to get the whole car inside cool before you really feel it. I dunno ... lol, but then again i have a diff car than cb7 but it does use r12...i'm thinking about switichin to r134 this summer if i feel like it ehh...

                          Anyway, I concur AZ sucks ASS in the summer. I just moved out here last year.. i did the first devils nutsack heat with no car...GOT DAMN THAT FUCKING SUCKED !!! ... yea so .. sorry for the rants lol.

                            hey this is somewhat on topic and somewhat off topic ha

                            My A/C doesn't blow cold either, however alot of the time while driving I can see white smoke coming out of my vents

                            what the hell is going on lol
