(if in the garage, hood facing out of the garage and fans blowing out)
remember refrigerant is heavier than air, and likes to collect in enclosed spaces...

'92's did not come with R134a from the factory. It was only required by law for cars manufactured on or after January 1st, 1996. Honda used R12 until at least '94, probably until early '95.
All '92 model Honda/Acuras used R12 from the factory.

my system must have been updated or installed later then. :dunno: Wierd. Last time it was serviced, they used r134a (or at least thats what they told me :thinking: ) I dunno, the previous owner did a lot of wierd shit to my car, I wouldn't be suprised if they installed it at a later date. hmmm....
