My air condition is not getting cold it turns on but it doesn't get cold

Is the radiator fan running when the ac is on ?

So the ac is not working. Is the compressor running when you have the control set for ac ?

take to a shop and have it done if you dont have proper equipment to do it is easy to over or under charge if was shop not friend then take back . when too much is put in at higher speed it will not cool and the specs are in metric and only holds 1.15 lbs of 134-a no more

Instructions

1. • 1Start the recharging process with any left over freon you may still have. Open the Civic's hood and attach the kit to the Civic's low side port. Then, set the kit onto a place in the engine compartment where nothing can move or shift once the engine has been cranked.
     
   • 2Start the Civic and let the engine run until it reaches its normal operational temperature.
     
   • 
     

     • Single Pressure Gauges for Indl., Commercial & Specialty Uses
       

   • 3Turn on the air conditioning to its coldest and hardest-blowing settings. Place a thermometer into one of the Civic's air conditioning vents and monitor how the temperature drops. Once the air conditioning's temperature reaches a level, constant degree, remove the thermometer.
     
   • 4Open all four doors on the Civic. This will allow any colder air generated to escape, and this will keep the Civic's air conditioning for accidentally cycling off while you recharge the refrigerant levels.
     
   • 5Turn the recharging kit's valve all the way down and let the refrigerant charge into the Civic's air conditioning periodically, shut the valve and look at the kit's gauge. This will allow you to monitor the recharging process. Allow at least one minute to elapse between refrigerant charges into the system.
     
   • 6Shut the valve of the canister, once it has become depleted. Disconnect the kit from the low side port.
     
   • 7Detach the hose, gauge, and valve from the empty canister and attach them to a new canister of refrigerant. Reattach the kit's hose to the Civic's low side port and continue recharging the system, allowing a minute between individual charges. The can itself can potentially grow very cold and hard to hold, even with gloves. Should this happen, wrap the can in a towel warmed in water. Ring out excess water before wrapping the canister.
     
   • 8Place you thermometer into one of the Civic's air conditioning ducts. Keep an eye on the falling temperature within the Civic's air conditioning system. The system is charged when the temperature hits 40 degrees. Also, within the engine compartment, the Civic's air conditioning aluminum tubing become uniformly cold.
     
   • 9Shut the recharging kit's valve and remove the kit from the low side port, once the system has been successfully recharged. Shut down the Civic's air conditioning, turn the engine off, and remove your key from the Civic's ignition. Also, shut all the doors
     

Without gauges you can refill the unit by running the engine at about 3000 rpm. Turn AC on full speed. Then open the freon can a tad to get rid of any air in the line and connect it to the suction port. Open can full blast, shake it while upright and continue filling until the intake line going to compressor starts getting cold and sweats. Then stop. Air coming out of vents should be around 41 degrees.
Cabin filter if clogged will only impede air flow - not how cold it is. Actually, id the flow is impeded the air coming out will be colder since less is passing over the evaporator. But that could under certain conditions lead to the evaporator freezing up (then use outside air option instead of recirculated) to deal with situation. There- you are now an EXPERT!

No freon, compressor not working???? These things will have to be checked. If no freon is in system the compressor will not turn on.

I am assuming it is blowing air at normal temperature. This means the fan is working.
The problem could be the aircon relay or the thermostat. You may have to visit an auto electrician to find the reason.

If your a/c is cooling at all...
you need to NOT check refrigerant
levels ANYMORE... Every-time you do that
you are venting it... out (creating other issues)... STOP.

Look for a phone book, turn to the yellow pages, find auto repair section and look for a local shop which does air conditioning work. You want your system checked for leaks, and then recharged. You are not going to add refrigerant yourself and have good results. Stay away from dealers and chain stores.

Definitely check your fluid level in your radiator. Top it off all the way. I've seen that happen multiple times on cars that were low on anti-freeze. If that doesn't work try replacing your thermostat. It's cheap and the easiest place to start if topping off the fluid doesn't get you fixed up.
