I own a Honda Accord Sedan LX 97. The AC was working fine but it gradually stopped blowing cool air. Everything works fine (The compressor engages) I just don't get any cool air. If I just need to add freeon, can I do it myself. Any advice would be great. Thank You

You can get one of those servicing tools from an autoparts store and add a can of freon to see if that helps. The only problem is without having the proper equipment, you wont know if it is properly serviced or not. If you havent had to have it serviced since it was new, it might be time to spend $100 and get it properly serviced.

Suggested Repair

A parts-store service kit and a can of refrigerant can be tried as a test, but the charge cannot be verified without proper equipment. If the system has not been serviced since new, have it professionally serviced.
