2jz-gte swap SC300 A/C not working
well, this seems like it's the last major quirk I have on this newly purchased 2JZ-GTE swapped SC. Gatta fix this and it's time to finally ENJOY the car! Help me out guys.
Symptom: The A/C control unit works and when I turn on the A/C, air blows out, but not cold air. Status of the car to help diagnose: -All the A/C components seem to be there from the swap - I checked the freon PSI on the LOW side and it was whopping 100psi!!!:eek6: So I deflated it down to 35psi and still no cold air coming out. My personal guess on what's wrong: 1. I've heard/searched that for 1jz or 2jz-gte swaps, you have to re-wire for A/C signal wire going to the ECU to interact (But .........Now...does this still imply to me when my A/C control units work?) Could this be the problem? 2. It could be a bad compressor, since I don't think I hear it turn on(I will check and get back to everyone this evening). And could it be the ECU not interacting with the compressor hence A/C not working? Any help/tips is highly appreciated. Thanks, JP |
I had same problem for while.
Blows Cool air but blows hot air blows when weather gets hot. Done lots stuff trying to correct the problem. Fixed by recharging the A/C with R134 at the service station. Now, it's cold. |

JP,
I got your PM and I'd be happy to help you with that problem. Do you know if the wiring conversion for the 2JZGTE swap was done by us at here? -Doc PM sent! |
I have the same problem but have yet to fix it. I will be watching this thread.

YES, it totally applies to you, the A/C control in the car appears to work as normal, just nothing happens. My ecu was not getting a signal and the compressor never comes on. If your compressor was fine before the swap, its probably find now. My swap shop took care of the problem after I went around thinking it was something else or I'd tell you more specifically how it was repaired. |

You have perfectly described the identical exact problem I had after the 2jzgte swap. Your compressor is likely just fine.
