Hey, my A/C blows warm, and now that its hella hot out all the time, I want to fix it. What are some things I can check for at home, without having to take a lot of stuff apart?

99 5.2 V8 manual

Thanks

 

I just bought a can of R134a at the store and recharged it myself. This may or may not be your problem, but it it a good start and a cheap easy fix. Bigger problems could be with the compressor.

Good Luck

 

How do you do that?

 

you might just want to start with a system recharge. do it at a shop, dont do it yourself. if you overcharge the system it is very dangerous to you and your a/c components.

if you find that it is empty you probably have a leak somewhere, or you could have a clogged orifice tube, which on my truck is located right by where the air box gets its air from the RF fender.

 

Is that expensive? I dont really have much extra cash for fixing the ac

 

system needs to be recovered, recycled, and recharged for proper performance.

 

im having issues with my ac. Problem is that one tube still gets frosty like it should but it still doesn't get cold i would post another topic but whats the points. Maybe he has the same too Im getting like air from outside but not from the ac but if I turn the **** to warm it gets hot but cold doesn't.

 

hey man you might want to look into a new orifice tube, or check and make sure your evaporator isnt plugged up.

 

definitely plugged up, most likely before the expansion valve, after the condenser

 

Mine was just low on 134, put some in, feels like factory, almost..
