2008 Civic AC problems

I'm at a dead end in trying to figure this out....

My compressor kicks on and runs but no cold air, I did put more Freon in it and the compressor still kicks on and it feels cool...not cold.

Any ideas?

Got pressure readings, high side and low side, at idle and at 2000 RPM?

Re: 2008 Civic AC problems

no...I just have the hose (Pressure gauge) that came with the Freon. It's blowing cold, just not as cold as it did. Thank you for your help....I'll try to get it tested

Re: 2008 Civic AC problems

The AC systems are small, there's only an ounce or two of leeway.......it's far too easy to overcharge or undercharge, and efficiency goes to hell if it's not just right.
