Ac Question - New Question
(New question at bottom of thread added 5-27-06)
I just bought a '92 FJ80 that has been mostly sitting in a driveway for a couple of years. The day I looked at it (bought it), the seller drove it about 120 miles, then I looked at it, and drove it home 120 miles. All of the time I was in it, the air conditioner blew VERY cold. Now it doesn't work at all. Blows at whatever the ambient temp is.
Is it possible that the seals in the AC system "dried out" sitting in this guys driveway and then the freon leaked out after I got it?
Or, do you think the guy charged it up with freon and screwed me over.
BTW, anybody have a price guesstimate on converting this thing to R34 (R12 is the old stuff, right?) and/or putting a new compressor in it?
