The entire cooling system holds 13.1 quarts. This includes antifreeze and water. Install no more than 9 quart 5 oz maximum of antifreeze and the rest is water. This will give you a 70% antifreeze and 30% water in the coolant system. You will have minus 45 degrees F or colder protection. Minimum antifreeze added would be 6 quart 18 oz and the rest is water. This would give you the minimum protection needed for your coolant system. If you live up in the colder climates, I would go with the 70% to 30% ratio of antifreeze to water. This is for the 3.1 L 6 cyl engine only.
Well the hissing sound could be a vac leak or the freon flowing thru the system. Someone needs to check the freon charge in the system with a gauge and the electrical circuit to the compressor clutch.
If the blower works but no cold air, a mechanic would check to see if the system is low on freon, then check for voltage at the low pressure switch and the ac clutch as needed.
I had a 97 and the knobs broke from time to time. Dealer part. The compressor could be low on freon and/or oil but only if there is a leak in the system which would need to be repaired at some point. A DIY can add oil or freon with a gauge kit sold at auto parts stores if the car is 1993 or newer ( R134).
HI there #1 before you put freon in did use a vacuum pump and pull too the right vacuum specification if not you have air in the system. #2 if you put 4 cans of freon you over charged the system must vehicles a/c systems use 1lp 5oz you must remove freon first and use vacuum pump and put system in vacuum for abut 1hour too mack shore system is air and muster free. ones that is don you can charge system be careful not too over charge OK
It would probably be worth while to buy a leak detection kit from your local parts store. The kit includes an injectable dye which you put into the system just like regular 134a through the pressure port. Once the dye is in you use the included UV light to find external traces of dye on the lines to quickly pinpoint your leak. Some do-it-yourself freon canisters have leak sealer in them but be cautious as they may cause further damage.
