Anybody know of a good A/C repair shop around the suburbs of Chicagoland that is also used to working on classic cars?
Thanks |

It's an original AC car that has the 134A adapter ports on it and the top of the VIR looks like it's been replaced at some time. The compressor is new. I can pull a vacuum and it holds. I can only get in about 2 pounds of 134A refrigerant into it. 80% of 3.25 pounds of R12 means I should get 2.6 pounds of 134A in. The A/C clutch pulled in and ran for 2 min. blowing warm air in car. No more refrigerant would suck in and can was in hot water. The thermal overload was new when I started and looks like it hasn't blown. Overnight had 35PSI on both high and low sides with system off. On second try clutch didn't pull in.
I have a new dessicant replacement and will replace that in the VIR and repeat the process above but If that doesn't work I will be stumped besides replacing random parts in hopes of hitting the right magic combination where it works. Was hoping some more intelligent troubleshooting by like a shop or someone who knows more would be a better route at that point. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
