I pay my carbon tax. I’m getting my money’s worth. If that means using full cans of R134a as 1000 yard targets and a diesel generator running to power nothing, so be it.

Sure.

Sounded like an easy issue, have fun with it. You're clearly on the right track so it should all be sorted in a snap.

She’s blowing ice cold again now, and I have lots left over for target practice.
Thanks for showing me I never actually needed help, and certainly didn’t need to pay anyone.

This thread took a turn. :lol:

On a positive note my car has been built and now I'm just waiting on them to put it on a truck to the dealership

R134A has an insignificant effect on ozone. Not to be confused with R12 which should never be vented to the atmosphere. If your 134A gets inadvertently leaked out, there is no need to find that troll Greta Thunberg and ask for mercy.

You are correct, it isn’t ozone depleting, but it does have a large carbon footprint, but it’s cool. We actually need greenhouse gasses to live. Healthy green houses actually pump in co2. I’m doing my part to save the trees.

Troubleshooting tips?

Worst about all of this is my 2022 C8 Vette was supposed to be here by now. So I've either got to fix this and sell it on my own or take the loss in the form of trading it in. FML

The fact that this happened all of the sudden leads me to believe it's the relay. The horn and AC use the same relay, just swap them and see if you end up with a working AC but randomly failing horn.

Bring it on Grundleclutch or Grimma or whatever they call you.

R134a is

ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED

times as potent a greenhouse gas as straight CO2

R134A will break down in a dozen or so years and I don't see wholesale venting of the stuff, at least in First World countries. The new BRZ and GR86 AC is charged with R1234yf which can in most cases can replace R134A in older systems. The new stuff is highly reactive and breaks down in a few weeks. I believe a more serious contributor to greenhouse gas is farting cattle. There is talk in government on imposing a flatulence tax and that should speed up research into bovine emissions control.

More trees = more pollen. More pollen = equals more allergies.

Big oil is not the problem. It's a massive conspiracy on the part of so-called "Allergy Doctors" and the folks that make things like benadryl and Clairtin.

OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE!!!!
