Depends what you are working on in order to help. Did you vacuum the system before charging it with Freon? How much did you add to the system? How much does it hold? If there isn't enough Freon in it, the compressor won't come on until it gets enough Freon.
If you mean how to charge a/c Hook up your gauges or a/c station and evacuate the system. Check the tag in engine compartment to see how much freon the unit holds.Purchase enough freon in cans to equal amount system holds and suck into system on the low side or weigh the freon in thru your charging station.
Freon is not installed with psi. It is installed by vacuum. Proper installation includes vacuum system (if empty of freon) and checking to make sure it holds vacuum for 30 to 60 minutes prior to adding the freon..
look for the fitting that is the smaller of the two and is attached to the line that is the larger of the two, this is the "low" fill side, add 2 cans of r134a freon each can is one pound the system empty holds 2 3/4 pounds of freon thats 2 3/4 cans.
I would buy 1 can of leak detector/freon combo and one can of dye/freon combo, if it takes more add a small amount of a third can that has an oil mixture in with the freon that would complete your systems needs the cheapest and fastest way possible.
If you want it done to the book then you need to have a certified A/C man vacumn pump down the system, replace the reciever drier, add freon and oil to fill the system and then check for leaks.
Happy Motoring!!
first you need to find out why the freon leaked out then repair that, then you will need a vac pump to vacuum the system for about 45 mins then if you lost oil add a couple of oz,when you lost the freon if there was a cloud of oil and gas then add 2oz before the vac down while system is open put into line or dryer or condensor, after the vac, then recharge to spec, there a label at the radiator support or on the hood that tells you how much freon the system holds,here you go it holds 1.48lbs of 134a freon.
When you add the freon turn the can upside down and it will push the oil and freon out of the can. If you have it up it sends freon but no oil. You also may need more freon before the compressor will kick in.
