you charge it through the blue cap down by the exhaust mainfold. and to get a reading have the ac on.

it says L and H on the caps. and usually those recharge kits wont work on our cars. if it has the wrong oil, you could seize the compressor. if you have to recharge the system, that means you have a leak and need to get that fixed before doing anything else.

Pretty much what gearbox said, Just pay the $200 or so to get it done right otherwise your just wasting your money.
