AC and heater not working properly..? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

bluecam805 · 05-07-2015, 12:25 AM

So my AC blows no cold air now. I have used it on my long trips, 7hrs drives, a few times. But I only have 60k on it.. Is this normal ?
Also my heater barely shoots out hot air anymore either. I noticed this is all happening around the same time.
Also I recently installed an rx catch can and breather

Has this happened to anyone. Ima get an AC recharge soon

Bump for any ideas ?

Avenging Orange · 05-08-2015, 01:48 PM

Have you checked the coolant level?

LSX Camaro · 05-09-2015, 06:25 PM

Is the volume of air flow down? Have you checked the cabin air filter?

bluecam805 · 05-10-2015, 05:36 PM

It has nothing to do with the coolant. And yeah it used to blow cold air. Really cold. But it's just warm. And at night it doesn't blow hot hot air

Does anybody know where the lowP line is to recharge it?

bluecam805 · 05-10-2015, 09:49 PM

But yes. The coolant level is on point

bluecam805 · 05-10-2015, 09:51 PM

I still need to check the cabin filter. I plan to do so this coming week but has the been the situation with many camaros?

Is your ambient temperature sensor still working? Does it still show a temperature on your radio? After I got my car back from my wreck, my AC wouldn't blow cold for long at all and come to find out the sensor missing was causing my car to read that it was -40° so it figured it's too cold for AC and would blow warm air only.

Your cooling system is blocked. It could be water pump, Thermo, radiator, heater core, heater motor, block or heads(not likely since your coolant is topped off) or hoses. Something is blocking the system, how does the temp read(water temp)? Normal? Recharge the freon, or what the A/C is using for refrigerant. Not a mechanic but there are some ideas.

Thanks Troy, my water temp has been fine, nothing over heating. And the ambient temperature seems to be spot on, no problems there.

Is the AC recharge line closest to the driver side firewall ??

I figure the low press.line is the only fitting that will fit the conventional connector that comes with the r134 can sold at auto part stores..?

2SSJIM · 05-11-2015, 04:11 AM

Why don't you take it to the dealer service department and have them look at it?

Yes, coolant can play roll in issues like yours.....but obviously not in your case. The reason I usually ask this question is because so many dont check their coolant......hell, some dont even know where the damn oil dipstick is! Good luck solving your issue.
