96 accord, 65k miles, max a/c, both fans are on at radiator, clutch is
engaged on compressor, system was charged by one of those cans with a gauge
on it from a store (not me) - but it still blows warm air - any suggestions
to troubleshoot?

96 accord a/c problem
 

Put the gauges on it and see if it is charged correctly. They blow hot air
both when undercharged and overcharged. It has to be "just right".

Check the cable / valve which shuts off the hot water going to the heater,
from the temp control in the car

96 accord a/c problem
 

On my accord it was the a/c thermostat... I spent two days diagnosing
everything I could, and couldn't fiqure it out. So I took it to the
dealer. 450$ later ($50 for the stupid thermostat), all was fixed. I
didn't even know the thermostat existed...damn... It's back behind the
glovebox.

You are correct. It was determined the gauge on the freon can was not
accurate. The system was still low and more freon needed to be aded - the
a/c works fine now.
