It depends on the make and model of the AC compressor, go to the link to look up the air gap, but .025" is an average setting

SOURCE: 1999 cadillac deville air wont work

There's a blower motor (fan) under the hood and up against the firewall near the center of the car that takes some work to remove. It has gone out in the last 2 of my 4 Cadillacs. Turns out if you're not real careful with the positioning of the spark plug wires they will brush up against it, and if one of them gets cracked or brittle it will "arc" and short out the blower motor. The a/c compressor should still come on (you'll hear a click when it engages) but you won't get any air blowing into the cabin, hot or cold.

The part was like $200 stock (year 2000 prices) and it took about an hour to remove it. My Caddy at that time had this damn strut bar going across the engine bay which we eventually removed to get to the blower motor.

SOURCE: driver side air conditioning will not cool

are you not getting any air or hot air???
Here is a laundry list from my memory as to what may be causing causing the problem.
1. Low freon:car will act like this when it needs a freon recharge. Such did not solve my problem, however.
2. Stuck door. There is supposedly a "door" (for want of a better term) inside the heating/cooling system that regulates temperature and/or cabin airflow. The door opens and closes according to the temperature and and dual climate settings selected. If this door gets stuck, it causes hot to blow out drivers side and cool on the passenger side.
3. temperature sensor improperly reset. if the battery gets disconnected and reconnected improperly, it will cause a malfunction in the sensor responible for delivering the proper temp through the a/c system. Disconnect the battery and reconnect with negative terminal first; check all fuses that reference climate control, a/c , heater, etc in manual, remove for 15 seconds, reinsert or replace if necessary.
4. Computer malfunction. The problem may stem from the climate control interface itself (i.e. the thing with all of the temperature knobs and buttons). Replacing this is supposed to fix the problem.

BEFORE TRYING ANY PROCEDURE PLEASE CHECK THE RESPECTIVE PART

SOURCE: 1992 Subaru legacy ls wagon w/air suspension. Air

your shocks are leaking or a leak in the lines or pump it has a rolling diaphram when you hit a speed they lower and raise on speed

if you cant find the leak you can pump the strut with a compressor if it has a leak replace it if they are expensive and you wish a cheeper fix you can cap off the front lines or rear or replace all of them with regular coils and struts if off a used car the struts may be bad the spring is heavy and the strut needs to be removed and checked if its bad get new ones they are not cheep but the air ride struts new are a grand or better well they use to be a used one was a few hundred i replaced them with springs on a gl-10 years ago and the light may blink remove the bulb or a wire under the drivers side seat not sure on that year

On a 1999 ford f-250 jumped the A/C clutch dierct and fully charged the system with freon but still the A/C clutch won't engage.

Sounds like either the air gap between the a/c clutch and the pulley is to far..Or the clutch itself is bad..You can remove the bolt in the middle of the clutch,,Work the face of the clutch off,,and take out the washer..If there is 2 washers then remove one of them,,and reinstall..If there is only one ,,try it with no washer...The washer adjusts the air gap

Air conditioner blows hot air

check for a loose connection on the A/C compressor, just behind the pulley/clutch or it might need to be recharged, if the car is r134a ready then it will cost about 40 bucks to get a simple recharge kit from an auto parts store.

A/C not working, only ambient temp air when turned on, not cool or cold at all

First check to see if you have enough coolant. If you are sure of this, The clutch to the air conditioner may not be kicking in when it should. This may be caused by the air gap being too large.

Carefully take the clutch off of the front of the AC unit being careful not to drop the 3-4 bolts. Behind it you will see a spring clip with spacers. By removing one of the spacers, it makes the gap between the clutch plate narrower so that the electromagnet can engage the clutch. This worked on my 1997 Dakota. Air would kick on and last for 15 minutes before it would smell musty. I would wait for another half hour then turn on again. The clutch was disengaging. May or not work for yours.

2002 f-250 diesel super duty air condition probmem.

sounds like the air gap between pulley and a/c clutch is too much now due to wear. when it quits open hood and take a piece of wood or something and push on a/c clutch if it engages and starts back working this is problem. be careful when doing this

you can adjust air gap by removing nut and sliding off clutch there will be a couple washers in there take one out . be sure it will still free wheel when a/c is not on.
