AC Compressor stopped working during freon charge

1992 Civic SI that I now share with a GF. I get to work on it cuz I'm 'a guy'

Conversion done long ago by Honda dealer BUT the fill valve was installed over the old fill valve and not depressing properly, since been changed to good valve.

During freon charge with old valve, compressor cycled on n off constantly and continued to do so after freon hose removed until it didn't do it anymore

Now, compressor won't come on at all. Ideas on where to look first?

TIA,

BJB

Did the freon leak out? Is there any pressure in the system now?

Find the leak source(s).


Depending on what the leaks are......Decide how much cash you can throw at the car then decide if working AC is worth it.
