Hey here's an idea..... Does anyone think we can bypass the temp servos so that that A/C always blows cold. I ask because the servos only move arms so if those arms were in a fixed position out of the motor in tern wont the ac always be at one temp weather cold or hot? I ask because my is HOT AS F*%K, and I hate it. I live in the Bahamas and its always hot so I have no need for the heater at all. If it can be done someone let me know the fixed position of the arms please im not sure how they flow exactly because I have never seen mine work.

98 GS400 A/C stopped cooling.
This is what I observe:
With AC swtich on and thermostat at low setting, the engine goes to fast idle. I can see the AC clutch engage and the pressure plate starts spinning. No weird sound at all ... except the engine rpm is higher as the engine does not see the compressor load.
Strange to me was that with engine turned off, I can spin the pressure plate with very little resistance by finger tips. I expected the pressure plate to be rigidly connected to the center shaft of the compressor through the center bolt. To me it does not seem normal.
Thoughts?

AC blowing warm air.
ok so then the heat side works on BOTH sides (my heat when my servos were bad only worked on one side)
run through all modes while sitting in the passenger seat and see if all modes function correctly and then do this also for the a/c see if it on passenger side it works. this will help narrow down a servo and a actual a/c problem.
have you actually had your a/c serviced or checked?
