No A/C

[BP_Z28]

Ok so I havnt had AC in years. So I bought a recharge kit & gave it a go. Did everything I was supposed to & charged it. Wasnt blowing cold air. But the pressure gauge back on to check PSI (after driving home) & was at 0. Was about a 2min drive home. So Ifigure I have a leak somewhere. Another thing, no airflow through vents just to the floor on all settings. Its been like that forever. In winter same thing, to the floor..What would cause that? Im no A/C expert so Iwouldnt know where to start.

normally default is defrost if there isnt any vacuum but make sure the vacuum line is hooked up from the engine to pass compartment.
those recharge kits suck. first if is empty it needs to be pulled in a vacuum.
second those handy dandy gauges that come with them that show low, good, high or whatever are supposed to be read with the compressor running

My vents are the same way. Good luck figuring the AC out.

Compressor seemed to engage from what I could tell, but could be wrong.

Had air flow to highest setting with MAX on

should be able to tell. when the clutch is engaged the center of the pulley turns. when its off the center doesnt move when the engine is running

maybe a pinhole in the condensor? Seemed to me like it was in a vulnerable position, right in front of the radiator. Though I don't have a condensor anymore.

X2 there. When I got the new motor in, that's one thing we "passed over". As soon as I got it hooked up, all controls worked. As far as general AC, I'd be inclined to check the condensor first.

For the air blowing out to the floor - there's a vacuum canister inside the passenger wheel well (you'll have to remove the passenger wheel well cover) right by the horns.

there is a cheap a/c leak repair thats suppose to seal a hole but you cant put it in without refridgerant or it will seal up the service port aswell, the seminar on it seemed to show it worked well. worth a shot before spending big bucks, or use some dye to find the leak(s) as well

Rolo, I have a full set of gauges and an A/C vacuum, we can discuss friday if you come down.

Make sure the condenser is plugged in. My Camaro's was unplugged, I found the plug, and reconnected it. I found out why it was unplugged.

Was that the condensor or the accumulator?

Whoops, I meant compressor, my bad.
