I am trying to recharge the A/C on my GN- I think that's why it isn't working.
I got the can of R134-A, the cheap gauge that comes with the retrofit kit from AutoZone, plugged it into the low side accumulator port, turned on the A/C and started the car. It's not sucking the stuff out of the can. Yes, I pierced the can top etc. I saw that the compressor kicked in once but immediately shut off. Do I need to jump the contacts in the pressure switch to make it charge?
I have at least two more cars that need it as well.
by the way a case of 12-12 oz cans of R134a costs about $37 at Sam's-half the price of Autozone.
Other moron question is- my car sputters and coughs in 1st gear from a stop. Usually that means one of the intercooler hoses has come loose but I took off the intercooler, replaced the hoses, tightened everything up and she is still doing it. Car can be hot, cold, whatever. Coil pack was replaced last year. I don't have a scan master so I can't tell you what all the readings are. She only does it in 1st gear from a stop and accelerates nicely the rest of the time.
