air conditioning question I have a 99 ta and I just recently recharged the air (about a month ago) and it was working great now it's back to blowing hot. Any common areas that they leak out freon? I love riding w/ the windows down but it's hot in Florida in the summer!!!!

In my experience...if you have a leak you have a leak. Stop leaks and recharging are only temporary if anything! Recharging is BAD! With out the proper vacuum pulled first, your leaving moisture in you system that can damage components over time, most importantly your compressor.
The O rings between lines are usually where most leaks occur. Take it to a pro for diagnostics and fix or get a cheap leak detector set from an auto parts store, find the leak if possible, fix it yourself and take it to get a vacuum pulled and professional recharge or take it to a pro after finding the leak and tell him what you want done vs. paying for the diagnostics.
On a side note, replacing the reciever/dryer isn't required but is a good idea and either way you look at it your gonna have to pay.

mine leaks also.
i have found that if i use the AC enough it wolnt leak, but once it goes a few weeks without the ac being used it will all leak out.
so basically i have to recharge mine every summer, but its not a huge deal
