94 Grand Caravan - A/C recharged..still not really cold?

[danstg]

I recently aquired a 94 grand caravan SE.....the A/C did not work at all on it, just blew hot air. I bought a refill can of R-134A with the leak sealer from Advance Auto.

I recharged the system per the directions......when I run the A/C now, it takes about 5 min on full blast to even remotely start feeling cool. Eventually, it does get to a point of mildly cool....however I want it to be ice cold like it was the day it rolled off the assembly line.

what can i do to accomplish this?

It's obvious the freon recharge helped....what else can I check now?

could a new compressor help?
is there filters that need changed?
sensors bad in A/C system?

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated....reply here or email me [email protected]

thanks guys!

You should probably get a A/C pressure gauge and check the system's charge level. One can may not be enough, but you don't want to overcharge. I got mine at VIP for around $8.

I agree you should have the pressure checked. If your freon is low then that could be your problem. Buy one of the re-fill cans that come with the pressure gauge on it. hey usually run about $10.00.
