Okay, well both my a/c and heater don't work. I did some searching but all that info is a little overwhelming.
Since you guys are so awesome! I thought it would be allot easier to start my own fix thread where I can communicate with you guys though the trouble shooting.
I'm really hoping it wont end up costing me more than $500 but we'll see how much more I can put into it. I have no classes on fri, sat and sunday so my idea is to do one or two simple things that can be finished in a day by a noob, every weekend till its fixed. This schedule should also give me time to find and order parts.
If we can come up with some kind of check list or something, I can go step by step and post updates. And now that I think about it, I can take tons of good pics or something so the next noob has a reference w/some pictures.
So let me tell you what I do know. I dont have climate control. The coolant level seems fine. In both a/c and heater mode, the air blows. A/C doesnt work at all, it blows, but not cold. Also, its already been converted to 134. The heater also blows air but is not cold. I don't think I smell any coolant but I'll double check again tomorrow. I've read to have somebody check for leaks in the heater core by revving the car up so I'll try to do that tomorrow. Okay so I think that's it. I do have a mechanic that can come to the house for $45 p/h that wont try to dick me around so if its a complicated install and/or if I need some special $20 tool, it might be smart to have a pro do it so I'm not left car-less during the weekdays. Thanks!
