Hey guys,
I am doing some work on my Honda (changed oil and filter, replaced a bad light, etc) and decided to get the AC running again too. 1997 Honda Accord LX, sedan, 2.2L.
Problem: The AC was at 0 PSI, I've used one can of R-134a and the can still has a lot of pressure in it even though the system is up to 25 PSI. It feels like the can is still under very high pressure, hell, may have built up more pressure. Is this normal? I know it can happen if you connect the unit to the high pressure port but the kit I bought won't even let the recharge valve fit on the high pressure port (I tried both ports to be sure, it only fits on one).
Is this normal? If so, how do I tell when the R-134 can is actually empty? Oh and yes the engine is running with AC on max.
ETA: Called the sis, all is well. Chalk that up to the newbie trying something new board.
