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!

I've been told it takes less 134 to charge a system than R-12. Maybe you need to bleed a little off through the schrader valve? I've converted 3 vehicles to 134, and discovered I had overfilled the first. I bled a little off, and it worked fine. Are you converting, or re-charging?

Well it looks like I have a leak somewhere. I tried recharching last weekend, gauge read about 25 psi as I was filling then went down to zero. Disconnected then re-connected and the same thing. The needle was down to zero the whole time as the silver thing that you fill up was cold with condensation on the outside, but then it went back to "room temperature." I thought maybe the gauge was bad but it read OK on Karen's green Camaro.
