When Im driving street (45MPH) my a/c is fine and cold, But when I switch to highway (+65MPH) It switches from hot to cold. It will be cold for a min. and then start to warm up for another min. then back to cold.

any ideas

 

Ever recharged your A/C before? or had anything done to the A/C system? I got one of those refrigerant containers with that gauge thing and did it myself for <$20. Air becomes cooler quicker and is much colder! You'll need this being in Vegas and all!

 

hmmm thanks for the info, my ac now doesnt push cold air for more that 10mi.

so how hard is it to recharge me a/c? what i need and all that

 

Easier than an oil change! Go to any auto parts store, ask for a "gauged" A/C recharge kit (you want a gauge to tell you when the system is in the green [good] or in the red [not good]). If one container isn't enough (the will tell you), the gauge can be re-used on the new one. Start car & turn on A/C to full. Attach container to the low pressure inlet (believe it's the green cap[it'll say on top of it...take a look]), shake can, turn upside down, and depress trigger and shake every 5 seconds until the gauge tells you it's green. Done and done...

If the auto parts place isn't busy, they might even help you out too!

BTW, the instructions on the container will tell you exactly what to do... I just cliff-noted it for you!

 

thanks will def be pickin this up, ive been lookin a little into it whats "R-134A"

 

i went to get a free a/c check then said i was low on freeon (sp?) is that what this can does? if so this **** is a ***** to hook up

 

YUP. Buy a can at Autozone, and recharge it. It sounds it just needs a can. I saw them at walmart for about $3, but I would trust Autozone more.

Buy the can and the hose.

Cans vary but I think you need R-134a: $5.99 at my local Autozone. Just recharged my truck yesterday

Kit(if you get lazy): http://autozone.com/R,NONAPP26137/st...ductDetail.htm

 

^Yep, that's all you'll need! Get yourself a can with hose on it for under $20...Walmart got my business on that one. Use my or the containers instructions, and you'll be cold in no time!

 

I used Walmart cans about a year ago on my Lancer, and worked just great. I believe they also have a little Kit too.

 

i did try this, but for some odd reason my fan turned off then the guage went to danger like it was over heating. i dissconnected everything and now i cant even connect it back up.

 

ok, well i think i need more than one can. its on 25psi its still very low. ummmmmm the fan on my car turnt off is this normal?

 

I doubt the fan had much to do with it. Pop on another $8/9 can on and fill 'er up!
