Info on what type of vehicle would be helpful (year, make, model, etc). But typically the amounts don't change much unless with the old tube and fin condenser the vehicle used R12 and now it has R134 in it. It's a 1986 Toyota Corolla GTS. Yes it originally had r12 with the larger tube style condens...

Did the refrigerant can blow up and kill you? Maim you? Are there any strange, bad noises now, or funny pressures? If "NO" to all, then my guess is: OK. No..i'm still alive.... :) Everything seems fine except after putting in the r134 the high side pressure was at 240-250 and the lowside ...

Using typical manifold, and engine running with ac on. i opened both ports after I attached can of freon to the yellow line. Then after a minute I realised and shut off the high pressure side and charged normally through low side. Did I mess anything up? Thanks.

Your low side connector is not depressing the schrader valve. You are reading the cracking pressure of the valve on the low side. Cracking pressure? What do you mean? So i might have been just reading the pressure of the can of refrigerant? So when I ran a vacuum....i might have just been sucking o...

Car: 1985 Toyota Corolla GTS (ae86) R134 completely empty system New Denso compressor New condensor New evap. Pressure switch located on high pressure line I half way charged the system first through the high side port with can upside down in a liquid state.....then i turned the engine over and star...

Thanks again!

Yes, should open both low and high side service gauge valves while pulling your vacuum. And - of course - any loss of vacuum means one should check all gauge connections for leaks too. When you add refrigerant initially after the vacuum has held, you can add as a liquid though both sides as the eng...

Hi all i'm attempting to put in a ac system on a 1986 Toyota corolla gts. When running a vacuum and checking to see if the car will hold a vacuum do you open both high and low sides while running vacuum and then close both sides to check if it will hold a vacuum? The first time i only had the low si...

I definantly will call them....thanks for your help.

Hi there i'm installing ac in my 1986 Toyota Corolla GTS more commonly known in the old school import scene as ae86. It has a dohc 1.6 liter 16v 4age engine. Anyway, I need help finding where I can buy an ac compressor for this car. Here is a picture of it. I need the manifold that allows the in/out...
