My car AC stopped cooling. it started working again after I refilled the gas but stopped working less than 24 hours after. So I suspect there is a leakage somewhere on the Evaporator

It could be a leakage, but maybe you are low on refrigerant (the liquid that goes into AC's to make them cool).

In both way you should see a mechanic.

SOURCE: AC does not blow cool when car is stopped, air is

make sure your electric cooling fan behind the radiator
is running with the a/c on , if not tap on the back of the
housing with a blunt object , but dont break it .
if it starts up , its the motor , if not ,a fuse or relay.
If its not running , repair it or dont use the a/c , as
the high pressure can dammage the compressor.

Aircondition not cooling in bently 2004

May need to change the orifice valve, or if you mean the compressor cycles on and off, pressure switch is likely culprit.

Ac problem at idle after converting over to 134a from r12

to convert from r12 to r 134 a the entire system has to be changed
that is condensor, compressor, evaporator, hoses ,the lot because r134a runs at much higher pressures than r12 ( nearly 3 times higher in psi)
it needs different gauges and has different fill connections so that the gasses cannot be mixed
to make it worse the oil used in the compressor is different because of the different gas and is not compatible with the r12
there was nothing wrong with r12 gas but companies and customers were "hoodwinked" into believing that the r12 was bad for the atmosphere and r134a was the answer
just as you have been " hoodwinked" by the person into getting a gas change over without being fully informed of what was involved and why
with r134a gas there has to be a fan in front of the condenser that works immediately the ac is switched on as the temp of the gas being converted back to liquid is much higher because of the higher pressure need to convert it back from gas to liquid
without that fan the system starts to circulate gas and so the evaporation of the liquid at the evaporator in the car is lost and no heat from the car is transferred back outside
what it means is this --- if you can get r12 gas , change the compressor back to an r12 compressor, have the system completely flushed, vacuumed down for at least 1/2 hour and then refill with r12
If on the other hand you have to use r134a because that is the only compatible compressor available then the evaporator , hoses and condenser have to be changed as well and that means a new ac kit basically
find yourself an accredited ac specialist shops and get quotes

How do I test the A/C low pressure switch on a 2005 chrysler town and country

use the appropiate machine to empty the gas from system then check the switch then refill and check again should be the opposite function although i suspect lack of gas by weight as this will stop the pump from coming on .All modern R134 AC systems are extremely dangerous to diagnose and play around with and can result in serious injury so i strongly suggest you take vehicle to certified technician

AC blows hot air when I go over 60 miles per hour. Works fine otherwise.

Interesting question. The AC condensor is in front of the radiator, and the movement of the car (or the fan) cools the refrigerant.

This is not working normally. I'd suspect
a) the refrigerant level is low (ie a slow leak), fix is refilling it.
b) the compressor stops working at higher rpm. Various issues can cause this.

Have the system pressure checked at an AC shop. One QUICK and dirty way is to take off the AC hose HI pressure cap. Press the valve BRIEFLY. If you hear a sharp, loud noise of escaping pressure, the level is probably OK. If you hear a soft hissing sound, the pressure is low, and the refigerant has to be refilled.

91 acclaim v6. starts and runs good, but once its been running for awhile (hour or so), and i turn it off, it doesnt want to start back up, or does and dies. wait 2 hours and it starts right up. recently...

Sounds like either you have a clogged fuel line and or clogged fuel filter or the fuel pump is failing. What happens when the vehicle runs the fuel pump heats up, as it heats up it produces less and less fuel for your car. Eventually ti stops working until its cool again on faulty pumps. Given the age of your vehicle I would say you need to replace both pump and filter.

Ac santafee 2001 problem

Well then, the solution is to determine what is causing the poor circulation of the gas... right?
Well now, there's the compressor, the condensor, the hoses, the expansion valve and the evaporator in the system. Find out which one(s) and replace it(them).

Car won't start

Your fuel pump is sticking and not pumping, this is common if you run the fuel down to less than 1/4 full, the fuel pump needs the gas to cool itself, below a 1/4 tank the pump is not getting cooled and after repeatably running low on fuel it overheats and fails. Running the car near 1/2 tank extends the pump life to many years more than running tank below a 1/4 full..
