Re: A/C capacity

Welcome to the forum!

Well, if you put 34 ounces of Freon in it, that might be part of the problem. You should have used R-134a. Assuming you used R-134a, then may I ask why you changed out the A/C compressor to begin with? Was it because it didn't get cold before? Does the blower motor move air fine, just not cold air? Is the heater control valve shutting off the flow of coolant to the heater core properly? Does the low pressure line get cold from the compressor? Did you evacuate the system before installing the 34 ounces and hold a vacuum on the system for at least 30 minutes to make sure it didn't have any sizeable leaks? Did you also add the appropriate amount of oil to the system?
