Find the receiver/dryer. It's the large silver canister usually near the passenger side firewall, under the hood. On the side of the receiver/dryer or somewhere near on the metal part of the AC refrigerant line, you'll see a little switch that screws in. It's the low pressure sensor. Pull the wires and jumper across them. If the AC is on and the engine is running, you may hear the AC clutch engage. If it engages when you jumper the wire, the switch is sensing a low pressure condition. Either add some refrigerant or replace the switch. Most likely, it's just low on refrigerant.

My 94 Lumina APV (3.8L) would not start (when warm) - cranked but acted as if no spark or fuel. Mechanic replaced computer @ $350 (said too many error codes to diagnose problem) - did not resolve problem. Then he replaced the camshaft position sensor (CMP) @ $125 - that solved the problem. PB
