Hello All,
I just bought a 91 P. Acclaim (Dodge spirit) with 2.5 L engine. I know the AC compressor was seized up. I changed the compressor. and put in
3x12 oz 134a gas.Now, the compressor works however, I don't get cold air in the car. My observation is that AC gas does not circulate. After the gas becomes liquid, something keeps the liquid from reaching evaporator.
My test: after I run AC for 5 minutes (no problem on clutch engaging), I stop the car and loosen the low pressure side adaptor bolts on compressor. Nothing leaks out. I put it back, and then loosen high pressure side adaptor compressor. As I expect, the gas starts to leak out from the adaptor. I'm sure I don't leak gas.
I know some older systems use expansion valve. Where is it on this car, and is there any other place where might be clogged.
TIA, Ulas.
