Wondering if any of you guys can shed some insight and help me out with some AC problems. The car is an '04 base 350Z and recently, the compressor's clutch was not engaging when pressing the AC button. I picked up one of the hose+refrigerant bottles at Advance and filled the low side port to 35psi according to the gauge. The clutch now engages when I press the button, but the vents still don't blow out cold air! I also do not see the typical AC water puddle drip by the PS front wheel. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I eat the dealership charges. Thanks.

 

Was the pressure low before you charged it? If so my guess is-it all leaked out again.

At this point unless you have or want to spend money on some equipment to service the system properly (manifold/gauges/vacuum pump/recovery tank/leak detection dye/0.55kg-19.4oz new refrigerant), you should just take it to an AC shop.
