How to recharge ac

You can find what you need at the parts store. Get a r-134a refrigerant recharge kit. probably run you around $50 has refrigerant and oil plus what you need to install it into your system. It is real easy to do once you have the kit. If the system is empty because of a leak you will need to have that fixed or you will eventually run out again. Re-charging the system might work for awhile if your leak is small though. 1 thing, DONT take it to the dealer they will ask for your 1st born to fix it : ). Hope I could help you. Good luck.

Oil gauge goes to 80psi while I'm driving 70mph on highway, drops when I slow down. Why?

They are designed to change as the motor changes speed. If you have 80 lbs. of oil pressure than you have very good oil pressure in your engine. If it gets higher than 80, I would talk to service dept. at your local dealer.

Mi catera 97 it's giving me a code po100 maf I

Hi there:DTC P0100 - Mass Air Flow (MAF) Circuit MalfunctionBasically this means that there is a problem with the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor or circuit. Other MAF sensor circuit DTC trouble codes are P0101, P0102, P0103, and P0104.You will likely not notice any serious drivability problems, although there may be symptoms such as a general decrease in power or sluggishness.A code P0100 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:The MAF may be disconnected, or a wiring connection may be badThe MAF sensor may be faultyPossible SolutionsThe simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back. Then start with the cheapest, easiest repair procedures:Verify that the Mass Air Flow Sensor wiring is connected properly and that there are no broken / frayed wires.Unplug and reconnect the MAF wiring harnessCheck the voltage of the MAF sensor (refer to a repair manual for vehicle specific information)Replace the MAF sensorHope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.Thank you for using FixYa.

I have a 1997 catera and when i start it sometimes there is a loud noise that sounds like a vacuum coming from the front but it doesnt seem to be coming from the engine what could this be?

That noise is the electric air pump the location is not in the engine compartment but in the front under the bumper this only operate for 1 minute on cold start the purpose is to warm up the catalytic convertor this is a emission device.If the car is already warmed up and you turn off the vehicle and restart it wont come on.Its only for cold start ups.
