Air Conditioning problem
2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Air stopped blowing colds and becaeme a low cool almost warm, I had the dryer/accumulator and orifice tube replaced as per my mechanics advise. The Orifice tube was pretty burned up.. looked like crystalization (see picture). After all was replaced and system vacuumed out and freon added..its not working. Nothing but hot air. Compressor is cycling on, stays on and seems to be okay, as there has to be enough freon to get it going. What could be the problem?[img:6cd353a4f1]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/531012_100_0363_1.jpg[/img:6cd353a4f1]
