A/C Cooling issues - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

dfrancis · 09-11-2019

High guys I'm new here just got my car 2 weeks ago, it seems that my AC unit is malfunctioning, it blows out hot air even though the compressor is running and it shows good on the low side pressure, anyone have any experience with this, I am by no means an AC expert but options for people to work on this are limited, unless you all think this something any garage should be able to handle.

Any large GM dealer in your can handle the diagnostic and repair. just had mine fixed a month or so. AC clutch was the culprit.

Dave congrats on your new car- I hope you love your ZR1 as much as the rest of us do!

Lou is correct; take your AC issue to a competent dealer for a solid, quick (and yes, expensive) fix. AC is tricky under any circumstance.

Now.... Where are the pictures???

Are you sure the AC clutch has engaged (Both parts spinning)?
If you are not inclined...take it to an AC type shop.
I assume a 93' is R12?
My 95' is R134.
How long has the AC not been working by previous owner?
Maybe just a very slow leak and needs a can of R12 or R134 for another 10 years

Thank you all for the info, I will take it over to a local AC shop.
