A/C guru's need help
i have a 94' civic sedan , my A/C is at 45 psi , and it is not blowin cold air , my fan runs , but mildly cold air , any advice on what i should try to replace or fix will be greatly appreciated , i have my two yr old son for most of this summerit is gettin too hot for my lil man
compressor locked?
im not an a/c guru but do u got any water coming out of the vents
nope , just very mildly cold air , it might only have been cold to me cuz i was sweatin my ballz off , when i push the A/C button , my rpm's do jump up a lil , if that helps at allOriginally Posted by no mo hondas
It might just need to be recharged. If you don't use your a/c for a while the freon (sp.) can go bad so I've heard. Try to just recharge or run up to a jiffy lube and they do it for cheap.
it is fully charged hence the 45psi
Do any of ur vents feel like they are blowing colder than others if so
u need to replace the expansion valve under the dashboard
part # from honda is 533221

try to get it vacuumed and recharged. i put my freon in too and my car is not that hot. it might have air in the lines. hope it works
45psi on the low side,(which is a tad high) but what does the high side read?

maybe the air contol is messed up i dnt remember what its called but if it only blows it when its on high it could be the i think its called speed regulator or something like that ive heard my uncle say it once but that was about it.
A/C systems work like this....if you want to fix the problem u must replace nearly everything. Replace ur dryer, comperssor, condensor and the little block...forgot the name and I always forget. lol. Make sure u pour rubbing alcohol in the lines and use high pressure air to force it though to clean the lines out of old "junk".

45psi is too high. That may be one of your problems. And like someone else asked, whats the high side reading?
That couldn't be further from the truth.
try the expansion valve first on the parts to replace, it usually gets clogged after tthe system has not been used for a while, it is also probubly the cheapest part of the A/C system

He meens that if you dont know how to diagnose things, then you usually replace all the parts.

I am not going to diagnose a mystery problem over the intranet. Know how impossible that is? lol. I mean, if he brought it to my shop I could figure it out, but since most parts for a honda is like going to McD's dollar menu then I would just get one of everything.

my old compressor stoppped my ac from working. The "clutch" or whatever had went out. I.E. when you turn aC on, you'll hear a click. that means your compressor had started. well based on what i went thru, that was the case.
I give out reps....
