Air Conditioning problem
Air Conditioning problem
Hi, I have problem with my A/C. When I turn it on, front fan starts up, compressor too (I see the clutch starts rotating and feel a power load on motor) ...but the air it blows in cab is not cold at all ! It's like A/C is off.
What could by a problem?
The system is recently filled and pressurized by a legitim company, pressure switch is OK.
Thanks

Re: Air Conditioning problem
Compressor clutch engages and spins?
Need to know a lot more about system operating pressures and conditions. Got a gauge set?
Just had an exchange with another member about an AC problem (LINK: https://www.civicforums.com/forums/3...need-help.html).....may or may not be the same as your problem, but if you have the necessary equipment it can probably be figured out

Re: Air Conditioning problem
Yes, the clutch spins.
I have no gauges like this, I can't measure it. I don't know car mechanics well. I just tought I could fix it myself, but it doesn' look rosy. What I know is the high pressure pipe should be cold when compressor's running, but it's not cold.
It seems I have to go to mechanic with that.
Is it possible a sensor (pressure, temperature) is broken? But even the compressor wouldn't start then, would it?

..and the high pressure is hot. Physics. That i understand. But thats all
