Also, each time i recharged an a/c system i emptied it by releasing both low and high side valve, making sure not to breathe any of that stuff.
:slap: you dumbass.

Overcharging the system is the same as not having any freon, the A/C won't blow cold.
very true

Is it true that the r134a system runs at a much higher pressure than the old r12? Mechanic wants major coin to convert my buddy's old Accord from r12 to r134a.
I would think there would be a bleed valve once it reached pressure? Agreed, gauge is safest.
they run about the same pressures. and the cost to convert systems can be dramatically different from car to car.

my ac eventually gets cold but it takes like a good 5-10 mins normally. would adding refrigerant speed up the process?
the only way to really know is to hook it up to a set of guages. you would need the high and low side pressures while the system in running to determine if you have too much refrigerant or too little.
KROME: i've never checked, but do '94+ integra's use TXV or orifice tube systems?
