    Start it up, and turn the A/C on. Watch the compressor.
    It might not turn at all. It might have just overheated. I'm betting it is a goner.

    It's a goner...

    I just went outside, turned the AC on; nothing.

    Tapped it with a wrench and it started up.

    Turned the A/C off and on again; nothing.

    Tapped it with a wrench and it started up again.



    Even when I hit it and it kicked on, the air was still warm(because of no 134a)...If I replace the compressor and recharge it, do you think it will stay charged?(Noob question, but I've never replaced a compressor before or had A/C issues.)

    Haha, that's a new one to me...I did a Urban Dictionary search and found this:

    So what are you trying to say?:cool:

    Both would work on Jim!!! :D

    Check the hoses just to make sure you didn't split a hose/line.
    I'd say the seal behind the clutch took a dump and you lost all the cool juice.
    Replace the compressor and the orfice tube. How many miles? If it has a boatload, might want to replace the dryer as well.
    Some quick lubes will charge.......Take some 134a with you..... theirs costs more. Isn't there a Grease monkey near you?

    I have a friend that likes to go into Auto Zone stores and mess w/employees and have them looking in their computers for a kanuter valve. :laugh:

    Classic, I've done that before to noobs and told them I'd browse the store while they looked for it then slipped out.:rockwoot:

    I have walked into Sears many times and asked for a Metric adjustable wrench. Most of them actually look for one.:n00b:
