No A/C sucks in 100* temps, Help!!
So heres the problem, Since about last week my ac has been getting warmer. until today when it did't cool at all. Its not low or high on freon according to the gauge that came with the 134a. the compressor clutch is engaging normally. the pressure on the low side drops when the clutch engages. the accumulator gets hot and so do the large diameter lines. the only line that gets cool is the smaller diameter comming out of the firewall area and it is only cool until it hits that electrical in the line, so its only cool for about 3". what are your opinions of my problem?

Your accumulator should not be getting hot. If your compressor is engaging and you are checking it with a manifold gauge....hook up the gauge set. Run the a/c on high and max for 2 min, then check the pressures. Low side should be around 30-45. High side should be 150+. If you do still have a charge in the system, I would bet the compressor is going bad. Could also be a blockage in the line.
