well it's getting warm up here in ol canada now and after a long winter it appears my A/C is not fuctioning. To the best of my knowledge it worked fine last summer.
Basically just blows warm air. Turn off for 15-30 seconds....then turn back on and I get a breif blast of the icy stuff before turning warm again.
It's a 92 and teh system was recharged by the previous owner about 3 years ago. Any thoughts?

It's possible there may be a small leak in the a/c lines. (That's pretty vague)..

You can take it to a place that will re-fill it and thye should be able to check and see if there's any coolant left.

My A/C did something similar last summer and I had it refilled. Works great now. Cost was around $100 I think.

3 years ago! You probably just need to get the system recharged, that's less than a hundred bucks . During this process have them check for leaks as LVG said.

thanks for the tips......will do ASAP and report back. Is there anyway I can check the fluid level myself (I'm no A/C expert so please forgive me if this is a stupid question)

Make sure to do the leak detection and see where the leak is,(if any). Because just fixed my AC in my 1991ls. It was just a .25 o-ring leaking. Alot better than spending $75 an hour at a shop.

Now is the good time to convert the system to R134. Make sure put a dye in your a/c system and the leak will show up with a black light.
