I'm assuming that the system has been fully charged/recharged subsequent to the compressor replacement?

I wasn't going to touch this......

I wouldn't offer anything when there is a VERY explicit thread 13 lines below this that addresses the entire process including this exact scenario and he offered NOTHING, so it's our job to read mind's now too.

Pffffft.

Be more aware of the needs of those that can help or let the heat blow!

You need to be less judgmental and expectant and be more acceptant of the diversity within our group Keith ...

I've seen many here asking if the OP even did a search as long as I've been coming here. Are we getting desperate for traffic that we should forget that?

If that's the case, change the sticky above about posting and let them know no effort is expected or required.

In my world, for best results, everybody puts their fair share of skin in the game.

It's rare that I ever get an answer here. I ask questions because I've researched and came up blank. And after nothing, I post what I did figure out. If I'm asking too much, maybe it' time to move on.

Diversity has absolutely nothing to do with effort. Unless the definition has somehow changed and coddling is now the solution. I am a fossil.

Damn..... You got me! And GOOD!

That's what I get for making fun of your battery choices.

And I am a FOSSIL by today's standards. You're getting there too. LOL

Hence, my absolute disdain for all of this acceptance and diversity sh** these days.

What ever happened to conformance, restraint and standards of behavior?

I think that us old fossils can help most regarding diagnosis of a problem.

Of course that requires a proper description of what the symptoms of the problem are.

We can also be useful by guessing what the problem might be when there are no codes.

Of course there is also general car repairs and upkeep.

We learned general theory of car operations long ago.

Seems that the young folks want immediate detailed instructions and high def photos.

Seems that many of them never bothered to learn how cars work in the first place.

Im more willing to assist those wit a good respectful attitude.
