Air conditiong blowing hot air

I own a 2007 Honda civic si 2 door, I recharged the a/c system just this morning, but its still blowing out hot air. I can see the clutch engage but shuts off and on intermittently every couple seconds, any ideas on what it could be and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Re: Air conditiong blowing hot air

Do you have a proper set of manifold gauges so you can see the high and low sides?

Re: Air conditiong blowing hot air

what method did you use to fill?
did you run the engine and AC while you filled?

connected charge hose through the low port, had a/c on high with the circulation on. About a week ago i noticed not so cold air coming out so I just thought it needed to be recharged, something I did notice was that when I started charging the system, the ar started doing this hiccuping thing and drop rpms everytime the compressor clutch engaged

Re: Air conditiong blowing hot air

You might have over filled it
either buy proper gauges or pay someone to fix it.

Re: Air conditiong blowing hot air

I don't think I over filled it because i was already losing cold air before I charged it, and the gage on the bottle didn't even get to half green "safe zone"

Re: Air conditiong blowing hot air

The compressor kicks on, but I notice the clutch engages and disengages like every 2 seconds, can it be the compressor clutch thats bad? And can it be fixed without having to buy a new a/c compressor?

Re: Air conditiong blowing hot air

It's more likely that the pressure is too low/high. Like mentioned, a proper set of gauges would be helpful. Parts stores usually have a set as a loaner tool.

Re: Air conditiong blowing hot air

Thanks for all the advice guys, I work at an rv dealership and had one of the techs looks at my car today, turns out I did in fact over fill the a/c system, luckily nothing was damaged, even though i was careful probably not going to diy that again.

Re: Air conditiong blowing hot air

It's a learning experience for next time. Just do a bit more research beforehand and get the correct tools

Re: Air conditiong blowing hot air

Yes most definitely, its fixed to a point, I am getting semi cold air on idle, not as cold as it should be, gets colder when I am driving only

Re: Air conditiong blowing hot air

What might be too low? It got recharged after. There's got to be something else wrong with it, im thinking the condensor

Re: Air conditiong blowing hot air

If you have a leak it will get low after a bit
the condenser gets pretty hammered

Check the relay, try powering the fan directly
