What is your question?
I have replaced the following in my car and the AC still does not work * AC Compressor * AC Evaporator *AC Condenser * expansion valve * AC Relay * Refilled Freon The AC pressures seem fine. There are also no leaks from the information that I have gathered. My AC system still does not blow cold air despite the above fixes. Can you please suggest what else I can do. Thanks

Please find a little more info , is the A/C SYSTEM functioning , mechanically AND electrically , but the air from the vents is not as cold as it used to be? When you have it at the mechanics next time , note down a few items and post them HERE for additional help. AFTER car has been shut off for at LEAST 10 minutes , see what the pressures are on high side , and low side. Next , with it runnign , turn it on 'MAX-COOL' then let it idle and write down those pressures low side when clutch is NOT engaged , then when it is , write down the LOWEST reading it goes to before it disengages. same for the high side , during clutch engagement then what it goes up to when it goes off. NEXT , visually inspect the temperature controls for proper function 'blend door'air mix control actuator Heater control valve function if equipped. Next and importantly , while all this was going on , was the radiator/condenser fan ALWAYS cycling along with the compressor clutch?
Hi, when you say " I have replaced " Does this mean you have paid a shop or done it in you own yard.? Regards Matt
Matt, Sorry for not being clear. These parts were replaced by a mechanic who I know well and has worked on my car in the past, but somehow is not able to fix this problem. My mechanic mentions that every car is different, and this model Civic is know to have AC problems with low performance, but I dont understand why the AC cant be ice cold once the problem has been fixed. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks. I will do as you recommend and get back to you.
IF you get results , if you start a new post , put something in it that says "attention you idiot ZIPTIE!!" so I will see it>>
