Best Answer

The low pressure valve for the refrigerant is different depending on if you have rear AC or not. With Rear A/C: The High pressure valve is located just to the left of the radiator cap. The Low pressure valve is located on the dryer (the large silver can) right beside the radiator cap. Without Rear A/C: The high pressure valve is located just to the left of the radiator cap. The low pressure valve is located in the line between the compressor and the dryer, against the firewall, above the motor (it is hard to see and access). ***WARNING*** Overcharging your system could result in an explosion.

How do you charge the ac on a 1989 Chevy G20 van?

o.k. the first thing you need to know is what type of charge you vehicle has freon or ???? . my van has 134r gas charge but it was retrofitted as it used to have freon . there should be a black or blue plastic cap on one of the lines coming of your condensor . you can get a refill kit from pep boys , wal-mart checkers or most any auto supply . the hose and guage are included with the kit so you just remove the cap and put the gauge assembly on , with your vehicle running and your air on high you will be able to get a reading of the psi your system has . if it is low add some gas to the amount the kit suggests . this should get your air working again . as long as this is the main problem . good luck and praise the lowered .

How well does R-134a work in a 1992 Chevy S-10 Blazer?

It came out with R12 and needs to be converted for R134. DON'T MIX THEM. My car with 134R cools as well as any car with R12. I switched my '92 Blazer S-10 over and have been very happy with it.
