A/C problem

JdmCazares98 · Jul 31, 2020

I recharged my AC on my 01 Spyder GT and it worked for the better part of 3 days and then it started blowing hot air again, since then I’ve tried to look for any visual leaks or anything that could be a problem that could cause it to not work and I haven’t found anything to the best of my knowledge...I’m pretty new to the eclipse and was hoping if anyone can help me out here in terms of what to look for or what to replace if possible.

Thanks

Recharge the system with refrigerant that has florescent dye in it. Then check possible leak points with a UV flash light. Refrigerant is colorless and odorless gas so you can't see it with the naked eye unless there is a dye in it.

Sometimes the expansion valve goes bad. I had that many years ago on my Camry and the leak was fixed at an auto electric place after a local Arco tried fixing leaks from the other side. This is a general AC thing not specific to the Eclipse. For some odd reason my Eclipse's AC continues to work after 19 years.

There could also be a problem with the condenser.
