Re: Refridgerant (Jim D)
There should be a sticker under the hood some place. You can tell by the test connections where you hook up the gages. R-12 has 1/4" flare (about 1/2"od)and the R-134a has a much larger one (maybe 3/4"?).

Re: Refridgerant (Jim D)
If it uses R-12 then if you need some extra then you can add freeze 12 which will work with R-12 and you don't have to have a license to buy the stuff and is cheaper than even 134. My mechanic has bought freeze 12 for me in the past and a friend has informed me that you do need a license to purchase freeze 12 so i'm not sure if you do or not now. All in all the freeze 12 is compatible with R-12 and is indeed much cheaper.

It should use R-12. I believe 1994 was the first year the automotive industry used R-134a
