The Air Conditioning used to blow cold air... the car has been basically inactive for the past 4 years. I finally have it on the road again and no cold air blowing anymore. The blower works of course.. but it blows hot air.

Help?

You will need to make sure you have a full charge of refrigerant before you can test anything. Best way is to find the high and low side fittings and remove 1 of the caps and tap the valve with a key or a screwdriver or soehting small. Make sure u hold a rg over it so it does not sparay you in the face. If air does not shoot out of the fitting then go to the parts store and buy a kit to charge the ac. Most hondas take about a 1lb-1 1/2 lbs to charge them. @ 12 oz cans will be pleanty. If air shoots out very hard then please post back and I will walk you through more tests.
