2000 ls1 air conditioner
Air conditioner stopped working today. I bought a canister of r-134a with a
guage on it. When I hooked it up, the pressure was in the red zone. I emptied the system and brought the pressure back up in the system to around 40 psi. It took about an hour and the air was not cool again. A second check of the pressure had it in the red zone again (like 100 psi). Any idea what the probem is? What can I do to fix it? |

Did you fill up the system with new coolant or just let it run after the
pressure felt down to green? "Aaron D. Kemp" > wrote in message t... > Air conditioner stopped working today. I bought a canister of r-134a with a > guage on it.

Once I got past your smart-assy answer, I did take the car to a
professional. The system was low on freon. Thanks for your help. "blah blah" > wrote in message ... > In article > , > says... >> Air conditioner stopped working today.

If the refrigerant was low, then it is leaking somewhere and the charge you
received will not last more than a few days if you are lucky. You will need to have them find and fix the source of the leak to get lasting results. This is a closed system so should not need a charge unless there is a problem. Bob PS Today's vehicles no longer use freon since this has been outlawed due to concern over ozone depletion and global warming, but we know what you meant. "Aaron D.
