  • In this video I explain why the A/C blows hot air at idle, at the stop light or when not moving and why it blows cold air when driving.

    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.

    I had this issue but it had full coolant. I had a bunch of dead bugs and dirt clogging up the coils on the condenser. I just sprayed it off really well and it was good

    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

      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"!

    Hey, I have a g35 with a p0024 and it gets 9 mpg which is terrible milege, I took it to the dealership and they said it could be magnetic retarders or faulty timing chain.(I watched your video on timing chain and I have no bad symptoms and my car idols, starts and accelerates very nicely.)Can you please tell me what the problem could be. I would really apreciate it

    • @Top5AutoRepairs

      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.

This is why it can be puzzling when you watch CZcams auto repair videos because the condition of each particular a/c system is different.

      Means you need to bleed the pressure off. Hold the pin inside the thing down, it'll bubble green stuff. Hold it down until the pressure is in the range you need it to be and it should start cooling. Your ac system is OVER charged.

      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.

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.
