I have the classic water dropping in on driver and passenger side floorboards. I jacked the car up to see if I could see if somthing was plugged as is there was no coolant.
While It was jacked up I put my R-134a guage on (cheap one that just has colors saying if system is filled.....put in maybe half a can.
After I took the knozzle off it started hissing out of the fitting I had guage attached to. I put the black cover back over the fitting and it seemed to stop. Is it suppose to keep coming out like that? This is the first time I have ever added freon to it...
thanks

It's not supposed to come out like that, your Schrader valve (where you attached the hose) is stuck open. Try to tease it back closed with a pocket screwdriver, if it doesn't stop hissing, it needs to be replaced and the A/C recharged.

well as for the water on the floor your a/c drain is cloged up you can get a hanger and bend it open and try to clear it out.
for the stuck valve get a small screwdriver and really fast push it all the way in and let it go and that should fix it.
you might of had a piece of junk near the valve and when you opened it up it got in the valve.
