AC Not Working
A few weeks ago we had a brief spell of warm weather and I turned on the AC. The air was not cold. My 99 FRC is out of warranty so this one will come out of the pocket. I think I'll wait until spring to have it fixed when I get the annual oil change. Anyone else had this fixed? How expensive was the repair? Thanks.

You could buy a 12 oz can of r-134a at your local autoparts store or Walmart and see if that does it. The charge may be only slightly down.
The issue if it is substantially low is that moisture can leak into the system and cause big $$$ problems.
If the DIY appraoch above doe snot work, then its off to the A/C technician
Good Luck

Your HVAC system is monitored and will throw DTC codes if anything is wrong. Please check the codes and post them prior to doing anything to the system.
Here is a list of the codes and a good website to explain everything.
