It says it the book to relieve the A/C at a shop but I can't move the car any advice on how to relieve the pressure?
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with intention of arriving
safely in a well presevered body, but rather to slide in sideway with
a cigar in one hand, a rye & coke in the other -
Screaming What A F*cking Ride
Yeah, look up cfc's.
chloroflorocarbons i believe.
Modern AC coolant does not contain CFC.
Quote:
In 1992, a new type of refrigerant for automotive air conditioning systems began to appear in new vehicles. R-134a was introduced to replace R-12 because R-12 contains ozone-damaging chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). R-134a is ozone-friendly because it contains no CFCs. It is also nontoxic and nonflammable, and meets all of the Environmental Protection Agency's criteria for alternative refrigerants. By model year 1995, all new vehicles were factory-equipped with R-134a A/C systems because the production of R-12 was phased out at the end of that year.

BUT unless you want to kill yourself my freezing a body part off like liquid nitrogen, i suggest have a shop do it.
it's still illegal to relase R-134a into the atomosphere
It is illegal to do yourself, but dont give the BS of CFC's on modern systems.
Give him a real reason.
He has a 95, it still could have r-12.
^^^^^^^^^^im pretty sure my dads 94 cavalier had R- 134A in it. i think GM started using R-134A in 1993.
it is agents the law to do it yourself but, in accidents the A/C system can be damaged releasing refrigerant in the the atmosphere.
you could just cut one of the A/C lines and do it that way. im sure the refrigerant is bad for your health so id be careful doing this.

so what about when the AC leaks if its so illegal then why isnt it required to check ac for leaks or something at inspection/smog thats stupid. ya CFC's arent good but every old can of hair spray or any compressed thing like that had cfc's
i thought the cut off was 96.. either way i think it can be converted anyway
now that i think of it, my axe deoderant body spary has cfc's in it. just thought i'd let you know
