Your ac is controlled by the computer and once it recognizes that you are low on freon it shuts the compressor down.. You will first have to start putting a can of freon into the system without the car running . With your gauges still hooked up disconnect the the battery and reconnect it after ten seconds or more. This will reset your computer. Start your car and then turn on the ac. The compressor should come on and you should be able to continue charging your ac.

Were able to fill the a/c with freon but it would run out in a day or two. Tried putting stop seal in it, but the freon cylinder wouldn't puncture, so we could not put freon in right away like it...

The system at this point is shot. The dryer is contaminated with oil and will not function correctly even if the leak were sealed. The system will have to be evacuated , flushed and leak tested, repaired and recharged.

I'm trying to put freon in my car and it won't take it... What can the problem be?

To put freon in the system,the vehicle has to be running and turn the ac to max. it may take 5 minutes or so per can . if it still won't take it ,the valve where you are refilling could be bad or after you put the hose on the can of freon you have to unscrew the t handle screw that is used to puncture the can to release the freon through the hose.

Sometimes the clutch pulls in on the compressor but most of the time it doesnt i tried to put freon in it but it wouldnt take

if the clutch is worn and when the a/c works, it works OK, then the clutch gap is excesive and will need to be adjusted. you cant put freon in without the engine running, the low side pressure will be too high. get the compressor running first. if it cools ok, then dont add freon.

How do I add freon to the A/C on my 1993 Subaru Impreza ?

Hi DO NOT BYPASS the tryrister switch!!!!!!!!!.

You can safely add R12 (freon) from a can with the system not running ,when you have enough gas and oil mix added to the system the compressor will stsart automatically the problem you have is not knowing if there is a leak in the system,as you need to check this as venting R12 to the atmosphere can land you in prison if caught !!!!,.The best advice I can give you is take the car to an Air-con specialist and he will carry out all the checks on the system for you and re-gas the system properly.

AC air is only cool, how do you recharge the compressor?

You can buy a can or,refil kit of R-134-A at walmart however only put the freon in on the low side (read the directions) if the freon gas will not go in; run an 18 gauge wire from the battery to the compressor clutch switch to run the compressor if the freon gas still won't go in it must be evacuated and, recharged by a shop. only put in enough freon to get the system cold any more than that and, you will lose cooling again (over charge)
