Mr. Green Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I tried using a 134 AC recharge kit to put freon in the air conditioner on my 84 Riviera last year. With the car running, the car would die when the freon was put i the system. Otherwise, the car runs/idles very well. Is there a replaceable part on the carburetor? I have read about "idle control valves" on EBAY. Thanks for any help I receive!! Lee-KANSAS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Your engine should not die just because the A/C is turned on regardless of any idle compensation. It sounds to me like the A/C system has a problem and is loading the engine down more than it should. Also.......did you flush out the old oil in the system and add the correct oil for R134 A refrigerant? If not you will wreck your entire A/C system running R134A with R12 oil in the system.
