My Car's AC isn't blowing cold air, what could be the problem?

Ok I have a 2001 Honda Accord LX 2.3 engine, and when I turn on the AC it blows air, but it's not cold its just mild air not hot either. What are possible solutions to this?

You can go to any auto parts store or even Walmart and buy a can of freon for about $25-$35 and add it to your system yourself - Just be careful as to how much you put into the system - Too much can damage the AC.

Here's a few videos for you to watch and possibly save a few bucks - If you only have a small leak this fix could last you about a season or two.

Hope this is a help.

I suspect you have a refrigerant leak, which needs to be identified and repaired and the system recharged.
Servicing the Freon in an Air conditioner requires the use of a refrigerant recovery and charging station to evacuate any air or moisture prior to charging and properly adjust the Freon level and to avoid releasing Freon into the atmosphere when making repairs which require opening the sealed system - which is prohibited by federal Law due to the adverse effect Freon has on the Ozone in the air which protects everything on earth from excessive solar radiation - A/C service techs take extensive training before they can service systems because they are much more complex than they appear. Definitely NOT a do it yourself project.

Agreed, the symptoms are classic of low refrigerant charge.

You may have a leak. Have the system vacuumed and checked for leaks then add your oil and put in your freon.

  • My 07 Honda civic type r a/c is blowing warm air out. I've had it regassed at halfords? When I start the ac I hear the fan start and the click. The wheel is spinning the fan is spinning the blades look good condition. Anything else I can check myself with out taking it to the garage.

  • Cold air intake sucked in water. What can i do to make my car start? I was driving my 2007 Honda Civic Si and I passed through a fairly large puddle and it shut off. I tried turning it on twice and it didn't seem to crank. What steps can I take to fix my problem? Hopefully my engine isn't hydrolocked.
  • Car A/C blows cold air till I reach 45+ mph? I have a 2004 honda civic and my AC is pretty good. Like it blows cold air but once I hit about 45 mph the AC will actually turn from cold and get kinda hot and humid. It's weird. Then like once I return to about 40 mph it'll get cold again. Any suggestions? Perhaps include average cost to fix it?
