Many summers ago I resurrected my AC as per tech article here. However, I only replaced the compressor, orifice tube, and o rings. It was ice cold for about a year until the compressor crapped out. It was a cheapo big box store brand. I replaced the compressor with something (hopefully) better, my HVAC buddy handled the vacuum/refrigerant part of it, and it worked again....Although now it doesn't blow very cold. I'm wondering if it's because I did not replace the orifice tube the 2nd time? I heard to replace it every time the system is opened.
Also I noticed it does blow cooler at highways speeds, but not exactly cold. Maybe time for a new condenser as well?
