I need help with my 7th gen AC!!
I really need some help man... i have a 2002 civic and i changed the AC compressor (That didn't turn on back then) i also changed the AC condenser, AC hose, and AC drier i looked i put Freon and the lower hose gets cold and the can is cold but it is blowing hot still, after driving awhile the lower hose (even with the fans on) is hot after i park i touch it so i changed all that and the ac is blowing hot when its night time it blows little bit of cold air (obviously the suns not out) and i tried looking in to everything i put a AC dye to see where the leak is coming from there's ls nothing so im in a pickle here cause I really don't see what the problem is here i went to a mechanic one says its leaking the other one said i overcharged the ac condenser and the evapcore (even tho i know how much oz it supposed to take) so i really don't know what to do at this point and I live in Florida and its HOT!!!!! so the ac compressor engages and spins when i turn it on, the condenser has Freon cause when i drain it the compressor clutch stops spinning. The AC hose was changed THE AC drier and i bought a evapcore and they told me that not might be it so idk what it could be any advise would be good pls!!!

Good is not a measurement. Need actual measurements. Buy a set of proper manifold gauges. Or take it to a shop and pay them to fix it. You probably did overcharge it if you used that cheap gauge that comes with the can.

So I did take it to the shop they used that stupid machine that sucks everything out and they had the gauges and **** and when I actually asked they said that it was just overcharged but it was still blowing hot as soon as I left the shop taking my *** back over there tmw

I dont mean to be insulting, but I dealt with a lot of people at Autozone back in the day that had the same problem. You're frustrated about a problem, and these people aren't giving you exactly the answer you want, which is an immediate diagnosis and fix.
If you dont know what to even call this "stupid machine", how are you ever going to ask anyone for help? How can you ever tell anyone what has been tried?
Process of elimination.
