On my 1998 Sienna (when facing the engine), the low port is located on the left side near the back, between fender and the engine. Is is marked with a back cap that has an 'L' on it.

Open the hood and find where the ac compressor is/ follow the stainless tubings attached to the compressor/ run the ac and find where is the coolest pipe and that is the low pressure pipe, the service port is somewhere attached to that pipe. the hot tube is the high pressure line.

The tubing for the low side should be larger than the tubing for the high side.

Air conditioning ports -to add air conditioning fluid

What you are wanting to add is R134a Freon. The port that you are talking about looks like the same connection that is on your tires. It is called a Schrader valve. They have a cap on them like a tire valve stem. They are located on the air conditioner lines that lead to and from the compressor to the cabin. They are different sizes and if you are not familiar with them, find someone that is because you can get hurt or damage your a/c if you make a mistake.

I am trying to locate the correct port to use to recharge my air conditioning system?

The port in the larger of the 2 AC lines from the compressor is the port you charge at.

Where is the low side port for ac charge located on engine for 2001 mountaineer

4.0L , 5.0L : Back near the firewall (Evaporator) above the accumulator/drier. The line will be cold /low pressure port.
Near radiator (Condenser) is hot/high pressure port

Be careful, if unsure do not risk it. If the system is leaking this will be a very temporary fix and probably needs the service of an experienced auto AC person.

Where is the port to charge my air conditioner

There are 2 ports, a high pressure and low pressure port. Both are in the engine compartment. I would suggest you get someone who knows air conditioners to do the work. This can be dangerous since Freon is extremely cold and can cause burns (freezer burns). Also you can damage your air conditioning system, and then it will cost big bucks to repair.

I need to locate the low side ac port. air conditioner needs charge and i cannot locate the right port.

The easiest way to locate the low side charge port on any vehicle is to locate the A/C compressor, follow the "larger" of the two lines all the way back to the firewall. Some where along that line you will find the low side charge port.
Good luck.

Cant find the low pressure port for air conditioner on 2000 Malibu

if you mean where to charge ac. then it is on passenger side at firewall, down about 2 feet. below alternator. it is just about impossible to charge system from top, because alternator is in the way while running. the best way is to charge ac from the bottom, or a long ac hose from top.

Air conditioners

The low side port is on the side of the accumulator/dryer. The arrow is pointing to a hose connection, but to the right of that connection is the low side pressure port.
