Car Forum / Acura Cars / May 2008AC problem
I have a 90 Acura Integra. I went to the airport Monday and the car was blowing cold AC. It has never had a leak or even a problem. When I returned on Friday it would only blow warm air. The compressor and the fans are engaging. With the car off I read 65 psi on both the high side and the low side. When the car is running and out side temp it 70 F: the low side is 0 and the high side is only 75-80. I can see a few bubbles in the dryer, but not excessive. I am not an AC guy so I am not sure what is going on. On Apr 14, 10:04 pm, "BenN...@gmail.com" <BenN...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a 90 Acura Integra.

If this is correct is there a way to test this?

I tapped on it and it opened, but I replace it just in case. I also flushed the system, changed the shrader valves and dryer. I evacuated the sysem and put in 1.75lbs of r-12 and it is blowing ice cold again!!
