Take it to a shop. No offense but it doesn't seem like you have the knowledge to take on this repair, sadly. You'll just make things worse for the car and your health.I need some help with my AC. I don't want to take it to a shop since AC repairs are expensive. My AC blows the outside temp air. It doesn't start out cold then blows hot, it just instantly goes to outside temp air. I tried the diy AC recharge kit to only find out there's no pressure. The compressor won't engage when the AC is turned on. It's like pressing the AC does nothing. I need help identifying where the problem is coming from. I tried replacing the electrical fuses and that didn't work either. My last resort is a new compressor since that seems to be the most expensive part. Any suggestions would help.
Your right replacing the compressor is the last resort. Check relay's also. It won't power up until you have adaquit pressure to kick it on. They are right to a point. You can't overcharge the system. It takes what it needs. It is not that hard to track a leak. You can get the die and more often than not it's an o-ring or a bad valve core. I would stay away from the "leak fix" additive, that can cause problems on it's own but out of the 2-3 cans that's needed one with that as an additive is ok. Add one can after the leak dye and see what's what on the leak. Make sure to use proper A/C o-rings. Don't underestimate yourself. You can piss away a few more cans of R144 to find-n-fix and still save a ton as to a shop rippin off to you about envirormental conserns that no longer exist.My last resort is a new compressor since that seems to be the most expensive part.

Learned my lesson on posting on this group. All I get is negative feedback. I was just trying to see if I could do some kind of test to determine what was wrong. I will not put my cars health at risk. I don’t do repairs myself if I don’t 100% know how to do them. There’s already enough destroyed RSXs.Take it to a shop.

That’s what I was going to try. Replacing the o-rings since that seems the safest and most cost efficient. Thank you for the feedback!

There's a reason why shops that do A/C must have the ASE in A/C systems before they can purchase the 10lb+ of freon. It's extremely bad for your health and if you doubt it, Google is your best friend. The price of freon also doubled this year.Learned my lesson on posting on this group.
