My damn A/C is messed up!
This is what I posted @ s10 forum.

I have a 98 s-10 2.2l.
I have been having A/C problems for a while now.
I found that my A/C clutch was going out. I replaced the pump.
I serviced the freeon (sp) 32oz. looked at the pressure ga, it was in the blue (25-45 psi).
After I shut the engine off it jumped into the red (120+psi)
I started it back up and my pump kept kicking on and off.
When it was on it god cool, but not cold.
I took off a bunch of pressure now. The guage reads blue both when it is on and off. Now my pump is staying on the whole time but it is not getting cold.
I really do not want to pay $200+ to get it fixed.
Also where the hell is the orface tube? (pics would be great!)


This pisses me off soooo bad!

John, window tint only has to cure for 24 hours...NOT 72!!!! I am 100% positive on this!

When I was doing tint we only had them curing for 24 hours. If it bubbles, in that first day it was the water in there. Since it has been warm in kansas, and I assume missouri as well, the water should have evaporated. Sounds like you got hosed. If it sucks, take it to Magic Mirror and Glass in pittsburg. its on 7th and Joplin right on the corner. It is the car audio store I used to work in, and we did glass there. Fairy reasonable there too and they use 3M Tint (good stuff)

That 3 day is genrale. It depend on your humity. Basicaly when the hazyness clears they'er cured.

just be glad you don't live here down here it takes almost a week for tint to cure because we run 80-100% humidity year round and right now it 92* outside.
