So late last summer one day my a/c stopped working out of the blue. Any of you who live in FL know that a/c is damn near a necessity Since it was bearable at the time I didn't mess with it much but now summer is basically here and it is time I get this sorted out.

I got a can with a gauge from the auto parts store and added that in one afternoon. The a/c worked the next day and that afternoon quit blowing cold. I immediately thought about the NRG ETD I had installed and where it was rubbing on the line a bit. I pulled away the heat insulation and eventually pulled the whole line and could not see a hole in the line, nor was it getting wet. My thought process was that if it leaked that much in a day I should be able to see it somewhere. I have not found any leaks. I have read about the evaporator? in the dash being a common problem on S2000s. Should I be looking towards that?

I do all of my own work on my cars and have for the past 10 years or so but I have never really dealt with a/c and was wondering if there was an inexpensive way to self diagnose? Or if its best to take it somewhere.. Thank you in advance for any help.

 

buy an ac dye kit and add it to the ac system but may sure u get the one with the dye, a goggle and a blk light. work in a dark area such as in a garage or at night tat way you can see the leak better.

once the dye is added to the system, you can see it with the goggle and blk light where its leaking. It will be some sore of neon or light green color.
