I think I added "liquid" Freon to my Cars A/C, what do i do?

I think I made a mistake. About 2 weeks ago I added some Freon to my 2000 civic EX. Lately, as I’ve been driving I’ve started to feel some slight jerking in the car. Like it would lose a little power and then gain it back. This would only happen when the A/C was on. When it is off the car drives smoothly.

After a lot of researching online I noticed that they say not to tip the can upside down when charging the A/C because liquid might get in the A/C Condenser. Sadly I fear I did get liquid in the A/C condenser.

Is there a way to fix this issue before it destroys the condenser like do an “evacuation and recharge” of the A/C?

2000 dodge durango, a/c compressor stopped working after freon was added, did I do something wrong?

at a rough guess you add excessive amounts of freon and that caused the compressor to seize up
gas is added using pressure gauges and not by the can
besides that did you use the correct gas as the r134a runs at a much higher pressure and will deliver liquid back to the compressor which is not good for the operation

Added freon to ac and car will not cool

Needs to be checked for a freon leak, best way to do this is to recharge and add dye, with a uv light you will be able to fine the leak, most auto parts sell the dye, and the flash light you will need to fine the leak, good luck.

The break lite switch is located behind the break pedal and it probably doesn't replaced it is probably just stuck. Its fairly easy to get to .

Stiff steering

Check fluid and make sure it filled enough,(make sure that its actually power steering fluid in there and not something else added by mistake for ex. antifreeze etc) make sure there are no leaks. Check power steering belt and and make sure its tight NOT loose or slipping. From personal experience with these vehicle you MOST likely cause of this problem if all the items above are GOOD is a bad power steering pump.
