well my a/c isnt working now..... i went two months with a hole on my a/c w/o knowing..... but when i finally fixed the leak and refilled it it wont blow cold.... all i got was hot air...

here's what i've done in the process of fixing it...

1. tried the liquid seal ... but turns out the hole was too big to be filled....

2. made a line with aluminum and some type of aluminum sealant.... then filled it w/ freon...

no longer have a leak but a/c just blows hot air...

any suggestions?

did you vacuum the unit before filling with freon? does compressor turn on?

Did you "over service" the unit? Too much refrigerant is just as bad as too little.

Are you using the term "freon" generically or did you really put freon in your air conditioner? I believe all cars since 1994 use R-134A as their refrigerant.

I would suggest taking the car to an air conditioner shop and having them repair it.

yes i used r134a

the compressor kicks on and takes the the freon when i filled it.... and still no cold air....

Did you perform the Auto active test of the IPDM E/R to ensure the a/c compressor is working properly? The IPDM E/R auto active test sends a signal to the following systems:

a/c compressor (magnetic clutch)
cooling fan lights (headlights,tail lights)
front wipers
rear window defogger


When in auto active mode, these systems are tested three times. Check your year's 350Z service manual for specific details on how the initiate the auto active test.

There are no quick fixes with A/C. Leaky hose must be replaced. Accumulator must be replaced. System Must be flushed. System must be vacuumed. Oil must be added and system is ready for charge.
