'96 Sport 1.8L AC does not blow adequate cold air
#4
sorry, the heater is separate.
40c. or 104F

so chart shows, 49PSI , so 30 is 19 low.
add more.
on R134, add until it gets better,, then stop, if you put in too much, the cooling effect starts to lessen.

for humility, go to your radio station dot com and see that.
or here,
go here
look up your temp and your humidity
then use the chart above.

50H + 38C + 2000 RPM = 69F (21C) outlet temp. that is as good as it was, day one out the factory floor. R134a is not all that good.
38-21C = 17C drop, in air temp from top of cowl to dash vent, use dash lever RECIRC mode to get better cooling.

go to walmart, see that top shelf and those new products, on A/C?
see the big one, with nice gauge, and nice, built in oil, and leak protection (hope in can if ever).
getting one with a nice accurate gauge, can really help with 134.

OMG i forgot 2 questions do you get full cooling moving fast.
yes , then does the front fan work, the one in front of car, in front of the condenser core? this fan gives you up full cooling from 0 mph to slow veh. speeds.


btw , this is not pro advice, im an electronics guy and mechanics 2nd.
And A/C loop (ive had the school) would say (might)

1-Get all that unknown coolant out the loop. into the capture, tank.
then look for particles of metal there, suggesting compressor damage. (react accordingly)
2- then a new receiver/ drier.
3- pump it down (hard vacuum) (this gets out the moisture, a real killer of A/C performance)
4-new universal oil (the kind that works with all others) added.
5-Charge it per the book. (see chart)
see if it works now. if not, the compressor can be bad or the expansion valve clogged.
replacing the exp. valve, means taking the dash off, and costs explode,

the above early post is just a HOPE, method, put in the correct R134a at your air temp and humidity.
Hope can work. good luck to you.


PS , bad act 1: (previous owners) Unknown coolant horrors. 101.)
Some owners (PO's) put in BBQ propane, fuel as Freon. sure it can work, but BBQ is loaded with water (moisture)
this don't work , at all right. (there is dry propane, but you wont find it at walmart, LOL)


all hacking comments are to non USA posters. In the USA hacking the system is illegal, as is venting to the atmosphere.
Be sure to watch for black helicopters, etc.....
