Hello.
I have a '84 Riviera convertible & my a/c blows warm. I bought my car in February 2014 knowing the a/c had already been converted to R-134. I was also told @ that time the freon will leak out over the winter & a quick recharge each spring will last all summer. Well, I never turned it on till last week-apparently ALL of the freon was gone. I used one of those R-134 recharge cans-with my car running @ a warmed up idle, As soon as we turned the a/c on, the car stalled. I had to keep my foot on the accelerator to keep it running. From what we could tell, the compressor is not locked up. We could turn it by hand, but it did take some effort. During this process, the compressor would turn itself on for a few seconds, then off-repeatedly. I got cold air thru the vents when the compressor was running.
So, here is my question.
Am I missing a blown fuse? Is there even such a "magical fuse" that kicks my idle UP to compensate for the a/c being on?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!
