I think im freezing..!

You know, you're right! This little fella showed up today with his own can of 134a - wanted to make sure he stays cool during his journey to the south!

I think i have a case of the AC working too good... I think what happens is after a while of highway driving (say 15-20 mins) the evaporator starts to ice up... it seems like something blocks the air flow as it drastically reduces... However, if I put it on econ for like 5 mins or so, the airflow resumes and I can put it back onto AUTO....

Also, when I put the hood up after a longer trip the service valve low side (on the firewall passenger side) is generally covered with ice, and it always leave a nice puddle of water. Today when I checked it, after a couple of mins there was a STEADY stream of water coming from the drain.....

Any ideas???? Could the system be "overcharged?"

Wes, have you got this sorted yet????? If so what was the fix?Cheers Greg

Read my post in reply.

If it was overcharged, it would not cool enough and would never freeze-up.

I get paid tomorrow so off to get the AC recharged.. its not a real huge rush for me since the weather is not yet warm enough to use the AC...

Ill probably go within the next week or so and get the bottle topped off while im in for the recharge..... Its going to take some time since they insist on leaving it on the vacuum for about an hour, which is great news!

That's good. I like a couple of hours for that last 1%.

youd be pretty hard pressed to find a shop that would leave it on their vacuum for 2 hours.... Youd probably be better off having them put it on the vacuum overnight so theyre not losing so much shop time.....
