Assuming you have R134a, you can purchase a can or two of refrigerant most anywhere... Parts stores, Walmart, most anywhere...

There is only one nozzle this fits. It is sticking up off a large diameter pipe coming from your air conditioning compressor (on the engine) going to the accumulator (drier) located near the back corner at the firewall

If your in doubt, you can always pull into a local shop and simply ask them to point it out for you. There are refrigerants which come from a filling tube which has a PSI guage on it, so that you can easily fill it to the proper level that you need.

If the nearest Napa, Shucks, oreilys or Autozone is too far away, Just go browse the automotive section of your local store, Walmart, Kmart even Walgreens and Rite Aids have these. an 18 oz can is about 18 dollars with the guage

Hope you find this helpful

Good Luck and Happy Motoring

1995 wind star min van blowe cool in rear and hot air in front plenty freeon fues are good

I would check the blend door actuator. If the door is open all the way, one direction, the air blows over the heater core. All the way in the other direction, the air blows over the evaporator. Anywhere in between, a blend of hot and cold for temp control. That explanation is a little simplistic. the info is for ford windstar.

Freeon is good dont know what else it could be. when its cold out the ac works fine but when its hot it doesn't blow cold? WTF

The ac will blow sold when its cold outside.It is just the air from the outside. You need to check to see if the ac clutch is turning when the ac is switch own.You may have a bad ac compressor

AIR DOES NOT WORK DO I JUST NEED FREEON

If the air conditioner blow warm air,

1. Open the hood and check the fan belt first, sometime the fan belt broke caused the compressor stop to work, if the fan belt is good, check the compressor see if the center part turns, if turns, that means the compressor is o.k.

2. If both work fine, check the air conditioner small window see if there is bubble, if you see some bubbles in the small round window, that’s means your air conditioner lack
R-22 Freon.

3. before you fill up the Freon, check the leaking, if leaks, fix it and then fill up the Freon, the best way is to ask some professional auto air conditioner repair shop to help you.


Hope this can help you.
