My AC was fine until a week or so ago. Not much air was coming out, and the air I was getting was not nearly as cold as it used to be. I figured I was low on coolant since I could hear the compressor clutch clicking in every 5 seconds or so. So I gave it a R-134a coolant charge and immediately felt the ice cold air coming out again and the compressor clutch cycled much slower.
As luck would have it, the next morning the blower motor completely gave up the ghost before I could even get on the road. So a couple days later, I replaced the blower motor along with the motor resistor and cleaned a handful of leaves out of the evaporator case.
So now I'm thinking new motor, new resistor, charged system... time for some cold air! Nope. I have plenty of air blasting in but it's not cooling at all. And the compressor is back to the fast cycling again. So where do I begin to look? How do I know if I have a leak or if it's something else? And if it is a leak, what's the best way to find it? I'm not an AC moron, but I ain't no AC rocket scientist either, so whatever you can throw my way to chew on I'll appreciate!
