Also check that the small condenser fan under the hood is blowing when you start your vehicle. The fan blades could just be stuck. If the fan isn’t blowing, take a screwdriver and tap the blades to see if they just needed to be freed up. Watch your fingers.

@RhondaRodriguez-rg4my3 ай бұрын
Yes but you can actually stand outside your vehicle and listen and watch for the ac compressor to kick on or off and if it doesn't then you know it's bad and in my experience the air is not at all cool when the ac compressor dies. I'm not claiming to be a mechanic and this is my experience only so don't go looking to bite my head off and correct me, all you "know-it-allers"!

And I see on here people questioning about the compressor clutch engaging on any car they also incorporate an AC compressor control valve in a lot of these cars that the compressor is engaged one hundred percent of the time even if your AC is off and that is the purpose of that valve in the compressor the symptoms would be that your gauge readings are almost correct but at idle the air gets a lot warmer that's usually a cooling fan problem or an AC compressor control valve only not the compressor itself

Start by checking the timing chain. Issue could be caused by stretched timing chain, worn guides, weak tensioner etc...check connection and broken wires at the camshaft position sensor as well.

Am frustrated with spending money on short time fix with in the hands of some moron in a workshop suit claims to be an ac expert.

It's impossible to see exactly what a AC system is doing when you don't use a regular set of AC gauges for the low side and also the high side. I guess these little blue low side hoses and refrigerant cans sell good. I've used the cans myself but I use a regular set of gauges.
