Ac?
Got my AC checked for leaks (none) and charged up last September and it was nice and cold. Now that the AZ heat is about to kick in and I turned on my AC, for a while I let it blow, but it's totally warm.
could it really have to be charged again? or is there perhaps a problem somewhere else?
It was converted before I bought it to the new AC (R34?), and the compressor seems to go on when I switch from the heat side to the AC side of the climate control. A cursory glance at hoses didn't seem to see anything loose or disconnected....
Any leads or insights would be great.

If there was a leak?
I suppose a slow leak is better than a dying compressor..
Well, it apparently is equipped with a dye that you can see under certain light to see where it's leaking - would a black light work for that?

My '87 XLT will run A/C great then, just stop. Its a slow leak, and your probably has it too. The only way I can figure to stop it is to replace some of the hoses/ gaskets etc. So I just use my 3-60 A/C. (roll down the three windows & drive Sixty)

I have a question, my ac hasn't worked for years and I had a test done 2 years ago saying I was low on freon and the system would work if I got it charged. so after about 2 years of no freon would my AC still work? or would the hoses and the compresser have to be replaced?

yeah I hope it works!, on one of my other vehicles this guy tore off some hoses and there was one part missing from the ac system and I added to part and new hoses and the system works.(frigged winter inside)
