A/C Issues

When I bought my 91 rs the ac didn't work so I figured it was low on freon. Well we charged it last year and it gave it enough to let the compressor kick on and off but it never got cool. Do we just need to add more?

Re: A/C Issues

If the comporessor just keeps kicking off and on contantly, then yea its still too low. You want the compressor to kick on and stay on, with it turning off seldom at idle.

Re: A/C Issues

You know I hate how the aftermarket can just let regular people buy this stuff with no consequences but shops have to abide by all these rules and get fined for it. Its need to be charged more. but without having the proper gauges you cannot get it charged properly. an undercharged and an overcharged system can damage the compressor. Take it to a licensed a/c shop
