The best way is to use the amount that was for 12 as a guild and use the pressure gauge as the test the low side should be just high enough to keep the compresser running with the engine reved up ( highway speed constant) it will be right at the low end of the blue end of the gauge and it should stay below the high end of the blue at idel. if it goes too high it won't cool very well or not at all. The more freon after youhit staying on the less cooling you'll get so try to put in as little as possible just to keep it on and it'll be as cool as it will get. ( not very good ) The old cars don't cool very well on 134A. A new compressor and a comdenser for 134A and the expansion valve too and they still doen't do very well. Make sure everything is as clean as you can get it ( raditor, condenser, Grill, Fan, (running fast). and it might get cool enough that you'll drive with the windows closed ( it's that bad). The cars too old to go though changing all the parts too the sizes that work good in the 93 and newer Camery. And the fitting of these sizes of parts may not really work.

Aircondition refrigerent fill location

There are ports on the ac lines - - depending on if the car used R134 freon when built they can also be on the compressor.
One port is bigger than the other to help prevent hooking up to the wrong side of the compressor.

No cold air from the ac in my 1989 toyota camry

Are you sure that is the problem?? Other things can cause this. Have the pressures checked first to see if the charge has leaked out, then you must find the leak. Also you have R12 in this system, R12 is no longer produced so you must covert the system to the newer R134 refrigerant, this takes a special kit being installed. So I guess the answer here is not you can't do this at home. The whole job will run about $1000.00

Trying to locate where low side is on ac so can recarge ac and what tipe ac is 134r old tipe

  • The Freon that a 1992 Taurus uses is R-12. You can't recharge this system because R-12 is available only to licensed technicians and is quite regulated. The adapters used to check an R134 system and an R-12 system are very different in size. You cannot check an R-12 Ac system with R134 gauges. You will have to take your 92 Ford Taurus to a shop and have them charge your R-12 AC system. No way around this.
  • I think the R-12 is far cooler in temperature so I kept the R-12 in my 92 Taurus. I never converted it to R134.
  • As for where the HI and LOW side are you did not list the engine size but if you go to the AC compressor and follow the lines around the engine bay you will quickly locate them. One should be on the left side by the firewall and the other will be on the left side towards the front.

  • Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa.

Regards, Tonu

R12 freon has been discontinued due to ozone depletion there for we have r 134a which is just as good but wont hurt the attmosphere you can do a conversion to 134 by changing the fittings to put freon in system you dont have to really change anything else
