ok i looked around kinda quick here but i didn't find what kind of stuff is in the ac? the car is a 94 like i said and that was around when they switched from one to another. my ac don't work and driver window don't roll down so need to do something and was looking at the R-134a at the stores and some had gauges. thinking i could try that first and see if it was low by the gauge and add some before i took it someplace to get it looked at which would cost more. i will get this window fixed some day but it looks like it is a lot of work because who ever had the car before kinda pulled the cable up and around the top of the door and have it held in place by a screw. guess it messed up and that was the only way they could keep it up. i do have the passenger window and that popup sun roof that someoen added i guess. sorry if this has been asked before. thanks for help. |

I don't remember what year the switch over was....but...look at the fill adaptor, the size of it should tell you what type you need, also most cars have the refrigerant type posted on the bottom of the hood. Hope this helps! |

Hope this helps! |

ok thanks. says manufactured in oct 93 and is a 94 guess that make sense. so i can just go get the r-134a from the store with the gauge and use that to test it and add some if it's low now.

Yeah 94 was the switchover year for R-12 to R-134A. Almost every automaker was required to use this type of freon at this point. Tonus and I both worked at parts stores somewhere along the line so we're pretty knowledgeable about these things. |

ok it is the new stuff and it is low. the gauge said about 0. the clutch on the compressor is always spinning too. always on. i don't know if i should add the stuff or what now because there seems like about nothign is in it. might be a waste to add and just leak out. |

ok guess i will try and adding the stuff. big lots has 12 oz cans for $5 so guess will take 3 of them because there is about zero it seems. there is no hose though so get a $8 can with the gauge and hose and use that since the hose and gauge thing is like that much it seems. don't know why i am saying this. |

You obviously have a leak somewhere so adding is not going to do anything besides you have to put it into a vacuum before you add refrigerant. also your clutch should only kick in if you have an adequate amount of refrigerant in the system. Do you have a set of compound gauges? |
