A/C blows just air(checked the stickies)
Hey guys, my A/C blows just air. How can I find a leak or is it just easier to replace all the tubes and hoses? How much all this would be(parts)?Thank you.

My A/C was just doing the same thing. I didn't have any leaks. I replaced the compressor, filter/drier, expansion valve. Works good now, but was expensive! $280 for compressor, $111 for filter/drier, $40 for expansion valve, and $50 for recharge. I did everything but the recharge myself. Have fun!

wow thats pretty expensive, is all that really nessasary, there must be just one common failer to change out so you don't have to do all this...

My '96 Maxima is having a similar problem and I just got a quote from the dealer to replace all the same parts for $1250. How hard is it to do this myself? Also, my problem is that the A/C only blows cold sometimes. After I first start the car in the morning it is only slightly cool air, but if I turn the car off, wait 10 or 15 minutes and then start it up again it blows VERY cold and will continue to do so until I turn it off again. Dealer says the compressor is bad but how can that be if it blows that cold some of the time?
