civc a/c problem
The most likely cause is low refrigerant, caused by a leak. The air coming
out of the vents should be 40ºF-45ºF on a hot day, max air setting, doors and windows open. You may be able to restore performance with a recharge kit from an auto parts store, but the system really needs professional attention. Lots of these guys are dishonest or incompetent, and will give you a big bill and your vehicle back, without all the leaks fixed. Ask around for who has the best reputation locally.

The engine doesn't generate the right signal to the AC if it's sensors aren't immersed / reading correct temps. Top up the reservoir (to MAX) three days in a row and see if it's 'using' coolant (displacing air, actually). P.S. Have you changed the Cabin Filter lately? 'Curly' |

civc a/c problem
curly, you are rockin'
i think this might be on the right track! the coolant was low. i had the a/c problem a few weeks ago, i had low coolant at that time too. i filled it up and the a/c problem went away, i didn't put the two together though. the civic has a cabin filter? thanks.
