The AC compressor wouldn't come on in my 97 Cherokee Sport. I added 2 cans of r134a with sealant. The compressor came on and the AC got very cold, but I could smell this smell like alcohol inside the car. The next day I tried the AC again, and the compressor wouldn't start. I pressed the low side Schrader valve, and not even a "pfft". I guess the system is empty again. I didn't see any evidence of that green sealant at any hose couplings, condensed, accumulator etc. I have heard that the evaporator cores are common to go bad and the fact that I smelled something in the car could point to that. Any thoughts?
