A/C Questions
I have a 1987 Trans-Am that I converted to 134A. I filled it with 3 cans of 134A with oil and stop leak mixed in. I over filled the system so I let some pressure out through the gages. When I took them off I had a leak at the low side shredder valve and it hardened right away. I tried to get it out but I made it worse and gave up. It slowly leaked and now my system is empty. I took off the 134A adapters and the R12 shredder valves are fine so I put a new adapters on.
I now have 3 questions.
1) Which fixed orifice office tube should I use to replace the one in there? When I had it running the A/C would start off cold then steadily warm up. I hardly had a temp difference at the orifice tube so I am thinking it might be plugged.
2) When I open the system at the orifice tube will the the remaining sealant also plug the system?
3) Do I need to need to add more oil after I suck it down?
Thank You George

2) Hard to say. I would guess that if it's air activated, that it would use itself up. I don't like to use stop leak products unless it's really necessary.
3) Vacuuming won't remove the oil. No need to add more oil unless you're putting on a new accumulator.
