Re: HELP - AC problem - Honda 2000 CRV



THANKS !!

Why did you have to vacuum your system?
The high pressure valve became defective and leaked out
the 134a. We replaced both valves, and the system is 100%
closed now.

Did you make sure no air got into the system by bleeding a little
refigerant gas from the servicing lines?
Yes, cleared all lines.

Did the AC have a problem before all of your work?
Yes, the very same problem. Pulling it down, checking for leaks, and
refilling it with two cans of 134a did not help. Still having the SAME
problems as when it was previously full of 134a. The leaking valve was
just a good time to try & fix it. (It's my kid's car.)

>Did you put the absolute correct amount of R-134A and oil into the system?
I put in two cans, which should be more than enough. I was having the same
high pressure problem when putting in the two cans - had to do it over a
full day, so as to not exceed pressures on the low side. Not sure if I had
to do that, but it made me feel better:-)


The answers to these questions may help us figure out what's going on here.
THANKS for al the kind assistance - I need it.


*******************

I'm pretty sure the problem is that the high pressure side immediatelly
rises and triggers the high pressure sensor. The question is, why
does the pressure on the high side rise, and keep going until it
trips the high pressure sensor?

Something clogged?
Bad compressor?

THANKS,
Gene
