a/c problem, 3sge swap a/c Options

[99gt3sge]

well before i swapped my 3s my a/c was working nice but the compressor was making noise, so naturally when i swapped i used the jdm compressor and ever since then i charged the system and now only works when the car is cold or when i'm on the highway. on stop and go it stops working have any of you guys experience this? the only thing I'm guessing that the compressor that i'm using might be for r12 and my car uses 134 since it's a 99.

I agree it should work for quite a while, its just not ideal. I've seen a lot of things work even though they told us it wouldn't in school.

The deal is that the new oil, poe or pag, act as a solvent and if there are carbon deposits in the condenser the oil will knock all that stuff loose and then it would plug up your orifice tube.(metering device)
Its more of a problem if the system was really old and dirty.


Either way if you're saying that it kinda works up on the highway but not so much when idling i'd guess you have either not enough refrigerant or it wasn't charged well.

This is my thread on a proper evacuation and recharge, if you don't do it just right it won't be as cold as it should
