Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2007Honda 2000 Accord AC cools intermittently only
I got my AC recharged yday for 100 bucks, still it has the same old problem. The air conditioner starts cooling and all of a sudden starts blowing warm outside air. I tried it in various conditions and at no point could the cooling go beyond 2-3 minutes. What could be wrong or is this a known common problem. Does any recall cover me? Thanks Aakash Take it back to where you got the work done and ask them to put guages on your system. How many miles on your Accord? Did they see if the system was leaking or just put in a can of R134-a refigerant. Have them tell you the pressure readings for the hi and low side and report back. Did they add any refigerant oil? Your compressor may be on the way out, or you could have moisture in your system that is freezing up, starving the compressor....or any number of other things. Good luck. > Take it back to where you got the work done and ask them to put guages on > your system. How many miles on your Accord?

I took it back today, but reading this email only now. I was told that its some electrical problem (wiring may be?) and the power to the compressor goes off and on. did not tell me anything about moisture or the compressor going bad, only thing he told me was he did a UV(?) inspection for leaks and found none. Accord has 93K miles approximately now. I am worried I might have just put 100 bucks in the dust with this recharging thing! they said 130 bucks to diagnose the electric issue and then fix it if its minor, else more money after that...the honda dealers start at 250$ or 125$ to diagnose. With the simple look at the compressor clutch (next to the pulley), does it stop turning when there is warm air? > I got my AC recharged yday for 100 bucks, still it has the same old > problem.
