AC problem
My Air conditioner is not keeping the car cool inside, I had the Freon level checked and they say it is full. I think the Blower isnt blowing hard enough to keep it cool. Has anyone changed the blower motor in one of these? How much difficulty am i looking at? thanks

Blower motor probably not the culprit mine was the orfice tube in the hi side coolant
Blower motor accessable under dash on passenger side. Have to remove plastic trim piece to access. Pulled mine when the darn variable speed module also under there but all the way to the right blew out. If motor is running at high speed (try just top ducts) leave it alone. I cleaned condenser, evacuated and recharged and still had tepid air coming out on recirc. Finally replaced the orfice tube located at a bulge in the hi pressure line in the middle of the passenger side fender. Have to discharge R134a and then remove bolt to get to the $5 part. Mine was really stuck in the tube so I used needle nose vise grips to wiggle and then pull out the old orfice tube. Watch it as it is plastic. Added about an ounce of refrigerant oil before putting in new orfice tube and recharging system. Was the culprit. All my gauge reading were fine before doing this but got insufficient cooling. Much different after replacing the orfice tube.
