Air Conditioning problem
1999 Honda Civic 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive
----------------------------------------------------------------
i recently replaced the a/c compressor on my 1999 honda civic because it was making a squeling noise when you turned the a/c on .but now when i recharged the a/c it doesnt get cold and it shows it s full. i also notice that the clutch keeps coming on and off. idid not replace the receiver/ drier or the orifice tube filter. should i have replaced those too and would that cause the system to malfunction?
i have also heard that it could be my hi/lo pressure switch?please help me as soon as possible ,it is hot!!!
