Oh yea... ahead of time:
I have done all the searching I can and I also have spoke with Scrappy (a really good friend of mine on here) over the phone, I even talked with a local a/c place up the street (in Fresno) and still no luck.
Hello People: Newbie to this forum and I have a few ?'s for any one who knows of the A/C valves on a 93 XJ.
I am currently trying to convert over to R-134a from my stock R-12 with a kit I bought at Kragen for about 40$.
I began to open the valves on the back of the compressor and recovered the r-12 in my brothers shop r-12 charging/recovering system. The unit recovered 2 lbs, 11 ozs. the needed amount according to the label is 2.33 ozs.
So after all that was done, i got my little cheapo Kit from Kragen, put the retro fit valve fittings on and hooked it up to the bottle of 134. After discharging an entire 12 oz bottle into my system, i disconnected the bottle and "WOOOOOSH" out came the r134 I JUST injected.
so I though maybe the vales on the side of the fittings are not open the right way since I have NO CLUE to what position they are required to be in. so I opened it up some more and tried it again with another new bottle of R134. after about 5 seconds of discharging into God knows what, the fitting blew off in a mad rage thus making me drop the bottle and run all about.
So my question is: what position do the side valves (they face the engine block, the low side and high side fittings face my fire wall) need to be in so that I can successfully inject R134a into my 1993 XJ?
THANK YOU!!!!
