I see those DIY AC recharge cans at PepAdvancedZone all the time and wonder if anybody has used them. The AC in my '01 Camaro blows cooler-than-the-engine-bay air. Hope it's not something stupid like the compressor and just a recharge does the trick. I took the AC out of my SE-R so it would be nice to have something with working AC!

a little bit of advice on using the upside down can method...depending on where the low side port is, be careful not to let liquid refrigerant get to the compressor. On a 3rd gen, you can dump it all in since the low side port is on the receiver/dryer. (not sure where it is on the 4th gen) If the low side port is on the line at the back of the compressor, be VERY careful. liquid refrigerant will hydro lock the compressor...and then its done for. On a fill like that, make sure that after you put the refrigerant in, wait for it to expand (ie temp on lines comes back to ambient from frosty)
