Re: 98 Monte ABS, HVAC, Air filter
Since this forum has had no postings in forever, I thought I'd update my thread.
Swapped the pre-catalyst O2 sensor. No drama, no problem. Screwed right out. New sensor has much faster response.
A/C was very weak when I started using this car this spring. Dumped about a pound of refrigerant into the system--now the pressures look better and it cools almost like it should. I still think it's a little weak; but not horrible. I remember REAL air conditioning--the ancient GM POA system, which could blow 32 degree air along with occasional ice crystals out the dash vents. The CCOT system can't hold a candle to that. So all CCOT systems seem "weak" to me.
I may dump some more refrigerant in it. The pressures I achieved already were on the low side of the "normal" range.
Far as I know, this is the first time the A/C has had refrigerant added since the car was new. Dear Old Dad was too cheap to pay someone to do it; and I didn't add any while he owned the car.

END trade with Communist China.
