A/C question

[markrutherford]

So the other day I bought some freon to recharge my system since its empty and I used a full 18oz can and a half a can of normal r-134 freon with oil added. And the compressor kicked right on as should and it was reading 44 pounds of pressure. So that was in the green zone so I was good. No leaks at all or anything. I let the a/c run for 30 mins and blew cool air but not cold! It was colder then before but not cold like it should be. I went out the next morning and checked the pressure it was fine. Still 44 pounds. I then recharged my dads 92 accord coupe with the same stuff and his is ice cold! What do i need to replace????


Much help would be nice

It was 100% empty without any pressure? Did you pull a vacuum on the system before you filled it?

[markrutherford]

Well it wasnt completely. I put in about 22ozs and i beleive its got 28-30oz for the whole system

[markrutherford]

Would it be the accumulator guys?

only thing i can help w/ is big lots sells r134 for $8 a can, half the price of autozone!

Expansion valve. If youre going to replace it, it would be best to replace the drier as well. This time pull at least a 15min vacuum before you charge the system.
