You do not want to DIY A/C unless your idea of fun if buying expensive equipment. Do you have a gauge manifold? a refrigerant scale? a vacuum pump? now that you've contaminated the system, flushing equipment? and that's just for servicing. To find out what's wrong with it do you have a scan tool? contact thermometers, UV leak detection equipment? A nitrogen bottle?

thank you very much! lol gotta fuck up to learn right?
i just got a obd2 scanner and ordered the gauge that was recommended by the prior post. i was unaware of a sealant gumming out the ports. i dont mind buying expensive gear as long as it will help me further down the road and possibly others.
what procedures and results should i be wary of?
