    Reason it didnt get cold is your head presure was way to high....

    The hint for the old compressor having a hole in the back is because it blew the valve out,,,


    need to replace

    compressor,expan valve,dryer

    clean the lines with brake cleaner and compressed shop air,clean until all the black crap is out of the lines, clean the condenssor,evaporator also and the other lines if you can.... best of luck....


    make sure you get the presure correct on the low side and high,.,,. 2 -12 oz cans feron tops

    thanks again! do i clean condenser and and evaporator the same way as the lines? also i don't remember if i asked before, but do all the lines have to be removed or disconnected anywhere to clean them? as for the evaporator is this the part up under the dash that looks like a mini condenser inside the plastic box. sorry for all the questions, just want to get it right this time! as for charging it i had a shop on base do that with their machine, didnt bother with the cans.
