It is still possible to aquire R12 Freon, but the cost is excessive. My advice is to convert the system to R134a.
It still uses R134a, which is still available.
if you've still have freon its old! and you must retrieve the old stuff before you put in the new! I think you can get to much in and freeze up. or your compresser is out!
you might want to check and make sure the tank is ground
The turn signal flasher is under the instrument panel to the left of the sterring colunm brace. (note I'm still looking for mine).
I still get 19 in the center city and 27 on the highway with fifteen years on the car. It's surprising how well it does on the highway for such a big, comfortable car.
check your ground wire at your motor. known to have grounding problems. clean all grounds hooked to your firewall.
Freon is a dangerous and deadly gas that can be fatal. However, the amount of Freon in a refrigerator is usually minimal, but it is still dangerous.
Freon is still used in automobile a/c systems today but instead of R-12 freon they use R134a freon........
Do not go changing parts as that can be very expensive and still not solve the problem. If the check engine light is "on" then have a shop diagnosis it for you. If it is not "on" then the most probable cause is the air intake and or the throttle plate are dirty.
I have a 1988 which just turned over 100,000 miles. I also have friends who have gotten 225,000 and its still going. My auto repair man thinks I have a great car and I should get 200,000 miles on it easily. Hope that helps.
Yes. I had a 1969 LeSabre in 1980 that still used leaded gas. Any auto store will have lead substitute. Maybe another poster knows if super unleaded is good enough.
Weak ignition coil? valve (intake) hanging up at times not allowing fuel mixture to enter combustion chamber?
