Default A/C Problems Update.. It's WORKING!!!

Well thank you all for your patience in assisting my troublshooting efforts..

It turns out the the Condensor and Radiator were the cause.. I cleaned them even though they were not visibly THAT BAD.. But the radiator had grass stuck all over it..

I am certain that got there from parking on the grass at the Ecklers event... I must have sucked it up...

When I initially cleaned it I did not drive the car.. But driving it helped blow out any residual crap..

Anyway... It is now blowing cold! Even in 90 Degrees sitting at a light it is cold..

THANKS GUYS!!

Glad it was a simple fix.. I didn't realize how much grass and stuff would go in that small a slot. I changed sway bar bushings and just happened to look up,, the top 1/3 was plugges w/ grass. I was not overheating but did clean it all out and mine has been a non issue.

But,, glad you are riding Coooooooool,, not just looking Cooooooooool.

Thanks Jim! Yeah it looked like my radiator needed a haircut! It does build up... But worse is that it built up right in front of the 2 fan spots...

Vacuumed what I could reach and then...
I even used a broom handle with Duct tape wrapped backwards around it.. Then I just rolled over it like a lint roller...
