Re: recharge 94 air conditioner?
Well is your system R134 or i believe R12? If its the R134 just get the gauge and freon at advance and do it yourself. If its the R12/(4) you have to first get it discharged by a professional then get the AC retrofit kit from Advance/Autozone and go that route.
http://www.id-usa.com/catalog.asp?CID=28 That site there will show you videos on how to do it. It is not that hard to do just make sure you do it right and you wont have problems.

And say no to them death kits. Wal Mart DEATH KITS You cannot properly and safely recharge an air condition system with them. The one side stop and go gauge does not tell you what your system is doing or is over charged or undercharged. A overcharged or malfunction air condition system can reach over 500 lbs of pressure. Enough to blow up that can or system and freeze you at first and the burn you or blind you and if any propane /butane in there blow and light you up. The stop leak crap and who knows what kind of oil in the kits there will stop your system for sure. Just like pouring super glue in it. And some kits even contain freon with a butane mixer. Good for a big blast. If you are going to do it do it right and safe. Here is what you need to start with. http://www.ackits.com/merchant2/merc...uct_Code=66773 In the older days you could just throw in a can and go. But over the years just adding freon is getting harder to do. Newer systems have to have the correct amount of freon down to the ounces. Most will need pumped down and vacuumed down and the right and amount of oil and a set amount freon charge installed to get the air to cool right and the system to last. If an air condition is low there is usually a leak that needs fixed and also a lose of lubricating oil from system. Also air and moisture enters a low system If you are going to try to do it get the proper type air condition gauge set with the low and high side gauges. Hook up the gauges and get a reading with compressor running at idle and at 2000 rpm on the high and low side. Post back pressure reading and we can help you. MT
