My car (97 Grand Am Pontiac) is just blowing air- like a fan. And, I just got a new compressor put in about 3 months ago. The air was never SUPER cool after it was changed, but it was still cool. Could it be anything else? Thanks for any help.

If a qualified company installed the compressor take it back. After installtion it should have been cold. Sounds to me it wasn't charged properly. Or there is a freon leak. You need a qualified person to check this. If your compressor is good you will damage it. Most of your quick oil change places such as jiffy lube will even check it for you for free.

turn on your car then your air con. open the hood and check the compressor it should kick in or start rotating if it doesn't you have a leak maybe on one of your lines. That does not mean the compressor is bad

Sounds like you didn't have a good charge of freon to start with...or the mechanic failed to change the orifice..which should have showed up on his pressure readings... best bet...take it to a qualified technician... will cost you more but you will be better off in the long run...

Airconditioners choose ongoing upkeep. if you're uncertain about what to do, ring the corporation rep, and ask for his or her suggestion. Is it ducted or detachable? this can make the alternative to get a specialist to do the preliminary sparkling. Everthing receives sucked into, by, and out back, and that's how germs can breed, and allergens style. no matter if that is purely you who suffers, are you the guy who often succumbs to sneezing and so on.? there are probable irritants that you're extra liable to.

You lucky sod, I don't have ait con in my car. But I guess if I lived in Texas then I would.
I wouldn't waste time asking on here tho, Get your car to a garage and get some cool air on you now.

it sounds like a leak get cans of coolant if its r134a at walmart and follow the instruction( if its r12 you will have to go to a garage ) it should cool back down you can also go to a garage ask to have a dye kit put in you will have to go back in a few days they will look at in under a ultraviolet light and find the leak its likely to be a oring they fail allot

You need to change your accumulator, or the a/c system never had a vaccum put on it before the freon was put in.

yes, sounds like there was a leak somewhere. A good mechanic can find a leak with compression test or a die.

It's very common when ANY work is done on a car AC --- for the freon to leak out.............take it back to the Mechanic........
you'll probably get charged --- I'd argue with Him, though........
Yes, it's TOO HOT IN TEXAS.......to do without the AC !!!
(I'm in west Tx)..................

Take it back to them. The refrigerant probably has leaked out.
