Hi frogger. :wavey: Unfortunate fact is that most air conditioning problems need to be checked/diagnosed by someone who knows what they are doing and has the proper tools.

For example, if your system has a leak, the refrigerant you refilled with could have leaked out just as fast as you put it in. Or, it may not even be a refrigerant/leakage problem and could be something else (in which case, your system may now be overfilled, which is not good either).

Anyway, best advice I can give is to have it looked at by someone qualified to diagnose HVAC issues.

Whatever you decide to do, good luck. :cheers:

I agree but there is also r134a with dye and leak sealer. It should seal any small leaks and show green through any larger leaks. As bbf said though, just get it looked at instead of guessing and pissing money away.

That's the one i got the R134A with Sealant the dye and im not seeing any leaks.. im so mad...

AC units are the absolute worst to try to fix yourself, my brother has dumped $1000 into his trying to fix it by himself, then took it in to a shop and boom, they found the problem after a half hour and fixed it for $200. As much as I like to encourage DIY jobs, the AC is one that you really can do yourself. Your best bet is to bring it into a shop and have them check it out.

ok so if i wiggle the ac line it blows cold air but if i stop wiggling the ac line it blows warm air.. wtf.. im so irritated with this.. heading to the beach in 9 days i was hoping to have this working...

No doubt...a pressurized line or electrical line or ? :dunno:

well took it to Aamco transmissions they do a free ac check and well found out that i need a Evaporator Core Discharge Temp Sensor and they quoted me it would be about 4-5 hrs and would be like $496.96 before taxes so looks like im not gonna have ac for a while..

Hi frogger. :wavey: Call your local Ford Dealers Service Department and ask them for a price quote to do the same work (replace the "Evaporator Core Discharge Temp Sensor"). They can give you the quote over the phone and at least you will have competitive quotes to compare.

Let us know how you make out.

Good luck. :cheers:

I agree with BBF, call some other places, $500 just seems WAY high for that job to me.
