So I swapped my York for a Sanden and hooked the old lines up and charged it with R-134 about a month ago. I purchased the car with non-functionality AC. Didn’t touch anything else in the system. Went for a couple hundred mile cruise down A1A along the beach today with the wife. 80+ temp all day. The A/C on max all day and all it did was cut the edge off the heat. Then about 30 minutes before I was home we drove through a driving rain. It lasted about 5 minutes. A/C started blowing ice cold!!! I talking ear stinging cold. We had to turn it down. Stayed blowing ice cold all the way home. Any ideas?

It may be undercharged. Check the sight glass on top of the dryer. When the AC is running, it should show no bubbles in it. If it is filled with white foam, you are undercharged.
Clean the condenser too. OH... and if you are using the R-12 lines, your AC will go away shortly. The R-134a freon is a smaller molecule, and will seep through the R-12 lines. You have to replace every AC hose with barrier hose rated for R-134a. |
