A/C not blowing cold but compressor is running and free-on level is good??
 
A/C is not blowing cold in 95 Honda accord. The compressor is kicking on and the free-on level is good.

what could be the problem?

How do you know the freon level is good? Could be a blown expansion valve, but that's unlikely for an auto system. Most common is a leak resulting in no refrigerant.


FYI - Freon is a trade name given to R-11. It has been misused to refer to all refrigerants. Your car uses R-134a. Classics use R-12. Most houses use R-22. After I'm done with the Jacob Javits Center, it will have either R-407c or 410a ...... depending on how much equipment I can find in R-410a.

I checked the free-on level/pressure on the low port side with a gauge and it is reading in the full range.

Compressor can be blown internally or the expansion valve could be blown or blocked.

Where is the expansion valve located?

Not really without training. The expansion valve is on the high pressure side of the evaporator coil.

get both low side and high side pressure readings and post them here . that will give us a better idea of what is going on..
