Recently purchased a 1997 Chevy Venture, air conditioning did not work when I purchased it. Went immediately (it was a HOT day) to Meijer and bought the charge kit and charged the air. Worked great for the 3.5 hour ride home. A couple weeks later (van was not drove inbetween) my sister drove the car and called to let me know the air was not working. This weekend I again charged the air (it took two cans) and the air worked great for two days, it is progressively getting warmer. Any ideas as to what my be the problem?
