AC died in 93 olds

today as i was driving and using my ac on and off with my windows down.. i got to fully use the ac and all i get is hot air.. the compressor you can hear it click on and off turns on for about .3 to 3 seconds clicks off clicks back on in about 1-3 minutes... checked the level of the 134a and i cant get an accurate reading it will slowly go from under filled up in to the red numbers the highest number psi it hits is 120 and it will slowly go back down... AND my RARELY used mechanic is on vacation until Monday. so that would figure.. tomorrow its gonna be around 93-95F ahhhh


btw nothing AC wise but the condenser has been replaced car has 89182 miles on it..

Sounds like you are low on freon which means there is a leak also. Was the system converted to 134?

yes last summer.

im getting my car looked at tomorrow (monday 7/21/08)
my mechanic is back from vacation :)

figures it dies right before the 92f+ weather yay heat waves...

right now my AC in the car is a box fan belted in to the passenger seat running on a 200w ac converter it has MAX and norm :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

well... i had the system drained and vacuumed refilled and drained again today.... my mechanic said the high side has pressure but the low side kicks into a vacuum when the compressor turns on... ahh im going back up there to work on it with him.... tomorrow.... hes think its a clog in the Orpheus tube

Orifice, if there is the compressor may be failing.

i have been trying to find the Orifice tube and can not find it on my car if you could give me the location on my 93 olds 88 that would be awesome :)
