Hey guys! It's summer in SC and the temps are on the way up! I'm having A/C problems though. About 2 years ago I had the clutch go bad on the compressor which seized and blew trash into the system requiring replacement of the compressor and just about everything else! Well a few months ago as it started to warm up, I reliezed the A/c was doing a worse and worse job until it was blowing hot! I took it to my friend who runs a Goodyear Gemini and after looking at it he told me it was the evaporator and that Goodyear would not let him fix it because the dash would have to be torn down and they were afraid the airbags may deploy. So he topped it off with R-134 and sent me to the dealership to get a quote. $1200! Ouch! And it was blowing cold from what he added, so I figured I would hold off until I could come up with the cash to fix it.
We'll it's blowin hot again! I figured I would go get a recharge kit to fill it up again as I don't yet have the funds to fix it. Got an Interdynamics trigger dispenser with guage and two cans of R-134. Followed the directions hooking up the guage to the low side port and started the car and began to add coolant. The compressor started to cycle off and on again and all was going well...
..until the coolant wouldn't go in anymore. The pressure indicated by the guage began to stop moving even as the compressor cycled off and on. Then the compressor stopped cycling and I could hear the coolant vent from around the valve when I pressed the trigger. It still feels like there is coolant in the can and the air is still blowing warm. Am I doing something wrong here? Your help is appreciated! My Jeep is a 99 XJ Sport 4.0L 4x4. I tried searching for a solution to my problem, but came up empty! Thanks in advance for an help you might give!
