    Freon Type

    Thanks guys. I have the thread on the coupler so I am still on theR12. I noticed 2 couplers though. One by the radiator rail and one on the passenger side near the glove box. I'm assuming to use the one by the passenger side Firewall. Actually while checking now. I noticed that the compressor...

    Freon Type

    This might be a moronic question, but i've been searching our forums and haven't seen an answer. 87 stock GN, I've had her about 5 years. AC blows hot, compressor isn't turning on. It used to work, so it's probably low on Freon causing compressor to turn off. Well it's hot and my wife wont ride...

    1st gear only

    True if the band went, it would be different than just hanging in first gear the whole time. I had the car to around 5000 rpm- 35 mph hoping it would go into 3rd but nothing. I tried the TV cable, and spring , no such luck. feels good. While i was out driving around a bit once the car goes to...

That the...

    High idle at stop

    I have an 1987 GN, 54k miles. Totally stock. Recently after driving a bit and coming to a stop (stop sign) i would feel the engine rev high then drop down. So i put it in neutral, and the RPMS go up to about 1800 then drop down to normal 750-800 range. This happens everytime i stop driving and...
