Either the pump is only producing low pressure or the expansion valve is faulty ,you will need a special machine to sort it out as Ac systems contain dangerous gas and its an offence to let this gas into the atmosphere ,you need the machine to test the pressure and then empty the gas for work on the system and this should only be atempted by a qualified engineer

SOURCE: replaced all air conditioner parts and still blows

no dealer has a reset for the a/c system by you mentioning that you replace everything it means the a/c compressor,air dryer,and the most important the orfice tube. if you hadnt replace the orfice tube wich converts the liquid into gas when it gets hot thats your problem.alot of mechanics wont change it as an a/c mechanic will.

SOURCE: where is the valve to release the freon on air

Not only ias it illegal it can also cause YOU injury. The freon will come out in a fast cold spray. This spray can cause instant frostbite and serious eye injury.

SOURCE: my air went out...

My 2001 limited did the same thing. I bought a refridgerant refill kit from Walmart and plugged it in, but it showed that the level of refridgerant was fine. Turns out the AC belt had come off. I found it laying in the skid plate. My auto shop charged me $25 for a new belt and putting it on.

SOURCE: please advise how to add freon to mitsubishi

The best thing i can tell you is to take it into a shop. You can add freon to a system but you need to know what kind your vehicle needs. If it takes the new current freon your in luck you can buy a recharge kit at any local parts store. If not you have a few options. You can get a conversion kit to change the system over to the new freon or you can try to find a shop that can recharge it with the older freon for your vehicle. Since its an 01 it should be the new freon but i cant be sure. There is a fitting with a cap on it on you AC Lines. should be 2 a red cap and a green cap. You remove the green cap and with the engine running attach a recharger bottle from the store and refill the system. Note the freon recharge kit will come with some instructions to always read them first. hope that helps good luck.

2007 Mitsubishi eclipse spider 2.4 blowing warm air not cold What is the paid supposed to be I know it takes 19 oz. Of freon I'm I suppose. To discharge before recharge?

Its best to evacuate the a/c but if you are careful you may be able to hook up your freon tank and lightly charge the system if it works cold just let it be and if when it is real hot it feels warm instead of cold you might add just a little more freon but be careful.

2000 NISSAN 4X4 P/U A/C SYSTEM WILL BLOW COLD WHEN OUTSIDE AIR TEMP IS COOL, WHEN HOT OUTSIDE AIR BLOWS HOT.

your auxillary fan is not working. this fan is responsible for cooling the freon that is being circulated in your cooling system... check if there are any loose wires in front of the engine bay.

the auxillary fan is located right beside your radiator fan.

My air conditioner works but does not cool . i have added freon the last two years and fixed the problem ,did the same thing this year but did not help .

When self adding freon after it leaks out you get air trapped in the system. After adding freon a couple of times the air expands not leaving room for the needed freon. To continue adding freon with air tapped will knock the compressor out pretty quickly, there's not enough room for both & the air is keeping the freon from being able to cool properly give the false indication of being low on freon. The freon you are adding has the dye added to assist in finding the leak since freon does not evaporate nor dissipate it its being leaked out. A black light will assist locating the leak. The best thing is to have the unit checked & serviced by a mechanic...he'll charge about $ 150.00 to check for leaks, remove the old freon...his machine will tell him how much air its trapped in the system by how little freon is removed. For the service fee he will replace valves & gaskets, where needed, correcting most leaks. After sucking the system down & recharging the problem should be corrected.

2001 Saturn L200 Air conditioner issue

You need to make sure the freon is correct,by having ac gauges put on the system,if the compressor is running the gauges will tell if there is a problem with the ac system itself,now,it can be the temp door actuator motor that is in the dash,if it is not moving the temp door open,it will need to be replaced.

I have a 1999 Volkswagon Passat. The air conditioner works great at night or when the outside air temp is below 80°; it will put out 55° air. But during the day it will only put out 10°...

check to see if you have a cabin air filter and if it is dirty have it replaced at a local auto shop.. if that isnt the problem and the freon level is correct then you will have to live with it.. a/c are concidered effiectient if they cool 20* below ambiant tempature.. personally i would say have the freon level/quality checked again

Air conditioner wont work if outside temp is over 70 97 chev pick-up it works great in temps remain cool outside any help would be helpfull.

Sounds like you are low on freon and as it gets hotter outside your AC system can't keep up. Check into getting the system charged and that should take care of it for you. Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!

Air conditioner HELP !!!!!!!!

could be your air blend door. It rotates between the heater core and the a/c evaporator to mix air. Temp knob or blend door motor is bad.

Air conditioner doesn't work when the outside temp goes up

You need to take it to a local shop and have the freon level checked. It sounds like the compressor is cycling to much on the hotter days and is not running long enough to cool down the low side. this is mostly caused by low freon levels and with this type of system with an expansion valve is common. this is not a costly fix unless you have a bad leak or blockage.
