There are 2 capped ports the low and high sides. The freon gauge set will only fit on one of the two ports. The low side. Run the ac attach the freon hose and add as necessary
Follow low side aluminum pipe to connector remove plastic cover,134 refrigerant Kits come with a quick connect that will ONLY attach to the low side . Follow kit instructions on can and attatch hose then twist top valve stem puncture can exactly as described. back out valve to relaese refrigerant in line .. Rock can top to bottom as it flows into running engine compressor Must be running !
Find your evaporator canister which will be toward the firewall. The low port is hard to see. You will need to buy yourself a re-fill kit which comes with the freon and gauge. Warm the engine and turn air cond. on. Attach the hose to your low port. Attach the can to the hose and turn the needle to pierce the top of the can. Be sure to turn the valve needle slowly to release the freon into the system. If the can starts to frost over, wrap a warm cloth around can to get the freon to flow easier. The kit will come with a gauge which will tell you if the system is already overcharged with problems or if the system needs freon. The one I have has yellow, blue, green, and red. The yellow is low, blue is good but the system could still use more depending on the psi, green is overcharged, and red is over charged with system problems, or other system problem.
First of all, you need to check if the belt is tight, if the electric clutch is turing on and off with the switch, and if there are bubbles in the receiver/dryer cylinder sight glass.
If you add so much freon that the pump has liquid in it, it could blow it up.
But you buy freon with a short hose and valve.
Wear eye protection and gloves.
Then you attach the can to the valve on the side with the thick hose.
There will also be a valve on the skinny side hose, but do not attach freon there. That is only for measuring with a gauge.
The open the freon valve and start the engine and AC.
If the can frosts up, you can put it in a bowl of warm water.
Watch the sight glass until the bubbles stop.
Then close the freon valve.
Turn off the engine and AC.
Disconnect freon can.
follow the top radiator hose from the radiator to the engine, the spout the hose hooks to on the engine is the thermostat housing, you unbolt it, pull the old thermostat out, clean the joining surface of the thermo housing and the engine block of debri (old gasket) install new thermostat making sure the spring mechanism on thermostat is installed towards the engine, put the new gasket in place and reinstall the thermostat housing.
The EGR Valve on this 3.8 L engine should be in front of the throttle body on the drivers side of the engine just to the right of the front valve cover. If you locate where the intake tube/duct attaches to the throttle body and then move just a few inches toward the front of the car it should sit right in that spot. It will have two bolts attaching it to the intake/tube. Hope you find it!!
standing at the front of the car there is a metal line that comes off the intake manifold going toward the driver side. follow the line down the transmission and it connects directly to the modulator.
