the night my a/c broke on my 89 nissan 240sx , i was driving home on the highway with the ac button on but the blower motor off . the day after the a/c was spotty and worked periodically threw the day then never worked again. Any chance i burned up the compressor? The system is r-12 ac was always ice cold accept for in the 95 degree heat because it was over powered.

Then it sounds like you have a leak look for oil and dirt collected.

Check to see if the compressor is cutting in.

Your also going to have to invest in some tools like a ac gauge set if your going to try to do this yourself.
