1995 J30 AC Issue

[CustomJ30]

Hello Board,

I am having an issue with the AC in my 1995 infiniti J30. The AC does not blow cold/cool are anymore, although it does have Freon in the system. I thought it might be the compressor but when I checked it, it is spinning when the AC is on. Also the AC lines under the hood are not cold (which I expected because it is not producing cold air anymore). I am just slightly confused on what the issue may be. If anyone can help me out and send me in the right direction I would appreciate it.


Thanks in advance

does it have the correct amount of freon?? cause that could cause that. also see if your heater valve under the hood is closed

When we were buying our '95 J30, the A/C went from blowing cool air to completely stopping working during the test drive. Fortunately the owner had just had the compressor replaced with a new one a few months earlier and the independent shop that did the work said they'd cover both labor and the compressor was covered under a 12 month warrantee.

The Shop tested everything: it had correct freon level, pressures checked out and compressor was running. After replacing the evaporator and cleaning everything, they finally only had the compressor left. They got a new (reman.) one and put it in and it's worked perfectly since. It was the first compressor, from the same company they get all their A/C parts from, that had failed.

So, having a professional get stumped on something they were sure was "working" is the bottom line here. I (and they) believe the compressor was pumping, but not putting up the flow needed for the system to cool, that's why the pressures checked out...

If you are stuck with the repair yourself, there are good prices on remans out on eBay by reputable sellers, also with 12 month warrantees -- as long as you follow and document the installation requirements (I'd have a pro do it to be sure).

Good luck!
