Default A/C troubles
do these cars have Air conditioning troubles?

Noticed the a/c was not working very well last week, I did not have any 134a gauge conecters, so I took it to a freinds garage and he weighed out the charge and found it to be 5oz low, he evacuated the system weighed in the correct charge and used dye to check for a leak, non were found!

What I noticed when we realized there was a problem is that the fan never shuts off, even when switched to the "O" position, I don"t recall if it did that before? after the top up the car was getting cool for the first 15 min. then it was as if it (the compressor) shut down, and the temp in the cab started to rise, and the vent by the driver side window on the dash was expelling warm air (hot last week before the top up) has anyone else encountered anything like this is my fan not working corectly?

I can not even utilize the outdoor air to cool the cab (20deg-C-68deg-F) I changed out the stock air intake to the engine with a Needswings CAI, is there anything I may have done to create a problem doing this upgrade? possibly a vacume line issue?

could there be a problem with the coolant thermostat? not much of an auto mechanic (more of a parts changer)

Any help would be appreciated

Thank you,

Angelo
