I idid the replace from freon12 to r-134 a month ago. Not me, a mechanic, he vacuumed the compressor,clean it, clean valves, nuts, everything that could be cleaned . Put new lubricant, an adaptor that goes on the freon valve next to the radiator top so you can connect the new freon r-134a canister. put new R-134 and I have AC again... He told me to let the car run for a day and then put more gas. I got the "artic" canister with the pressure gauge on top..and I went all the way to 35 Psi If I recall well (half way on the full zone on the pressure gauge that come with the canister) so far it has been working fine.

Hi kiawah,
          now you are scaring me... did he miss something ? I can see bubbles in the receiver drier tanks, which was not replaced.

Sorry, I thought you were the original poster who was still having the a/c problems, and had just done all of that work to the a/c. I didn't page all the way back, just replied to the reply.
 
If anyone paid to have all of that work done on it, and was still having problems, then take it back to the mechanic who did the work to fix it right. You don't want to have to pay for all of the freon evacuations and refills.

90 accord condenser fan fuse by 90coupegak
May 19, 2008 (2:21 pm)

guys the ac condenser fan fuse keeps blowin after working for 5 minutes or so. I changed the fan motor with no difference, changed the fuse to a 20 amp instead of the recommended 15 amp; that lasted 5 minutes longer and that blew, any ideas??? ohh the fuse blows when the rpms drop slightly (like a vacumm leak)as if i was putting the defrost on or the wipers or pressing the door locks which i'm not doing. the ac has to be on obviously for the fuse to blow bc the fan is supposed to work as soon as u turn the ac on. thanx

Brake pedal slowly goes to floor by orbluesman
May 19, 2008 (2:43 pm)
Reply
1992 Accord DX had a brake fluid leak at the front wheel. Fluid went too low and brake light came on. I added fluid and tightened the banjo nut that was leaking. Have since bled the brake lines, but the pedal still slowly goes to the floor, but only while the egine is running. When engine is off, it's firm. Also, after pressing the pedal and releasing, the idle increases. Some have suggested the brake booster may have a leak, others have said the master cylinder is now bad since my bleeder helper pushed the pedal to the floor during the bleeding. Boo hoo Any thought on the best path and procedures? Much obliged in Oregon.

You mentioned that the fuse blows when the RPMs drop. Could the RPM drop be from a heavy load on the alternator when the fuse blows? Maybe there is some sort of a short from a cut wire rubbing somewhere?
 
What if you unplug the condenser fan for the A/C, and see if the fuse blows? I don't know whats all on that fuse, you may need to put a smaller value fuse to see if it pops without the fan.
 
Sorry, not much help

A/C wiring on honda accord 1990 DX by Fukuyama
May 19, 2008 (5:32 pm)
Reply
hi all,
 
        I hope someone can help me with this mess.
car:
Honda Accord 1990 DX
 
Since I got this car the condenser fan has been disconnected.
At the beginning it was directly connected to the wiper current
intake so it ran as soon as I put my key in. Needless to say ,
I burned 2 fans. I got a new radiator wit both fans,
but I don;t want to burn a third fan. I am putting some pictures
 
picture one is straight from the manual of honda accord 1990
 

 
I marked the items with number so they can be identified in the real pictures
 
picture 2...my car:
 

 
so the compressor clutch relay, the diode and the condenser fan relay are present...at least physically
 
picture 3 is interesting
 

 
number 2 shows the pressure switch connector. next to the stick used to hold the hood open, there is a [i]relay? [/i] attached to the front.. this was always there it has four cables going into it. I cannot find this relay in picture 1(the wiring for the AC system by honda manual). In yellow crosses I show two open cables they had tape on them when I got the car. I tested both opened cables for voltage, i got no reading. I wonder if the condenser fan should be connected to those cables?
 
Does anyone know if honda built in USA came with a different wiring? or is this a rewiring of the original wiring for the AC system?
 
I have been using the AC without condenser fan without problem, Temperature hasn't risen so far while driving with AC on , even with the fan off.
 
Any help will be appreciated... I am trying to put this princess all together.
 
PS: I don;t see the high pressure valve for the A/C system...where is supposed to be (near the pressure switch connector)

Hesitation & hard startup, fuel pressure? by cybercool
May 27, 2008 (7:24 pm)
Reply
Hi all,
  
When starting up my 93' Accord, gas already in tank, engine cranks after long startup. After adding more gas (regular) I noticed hesitation when depressing gas pedal. I had a friend install a new fuel pump back in Dec 2007. Can this be a fuel gauge pressure problem? Where should I start to look for problems? I don't want to spend too much $$$
  
Thanks
cybercool
