    Time to check your oh-so-pricey compressor. Notice any "Dragon Blood" (bright green fluid) on your drive or garage floor? Good luck with this one. Get out your checkbook

    I have the same problem with my Eclipse so let us know if you ever find the solution.

    & yes, I've checked the Freon - too much pressure. I've been avoiding taking it in to have the system purged & refilled since I'm not convinced it will fix the situation.

    The vx uses r-134a refrigerant and the proper amount is between 25-45 psi.And all auto's with ac blow warmer when at idol and colder when the rpm's are higher.

    "ac blow warmer when at idol and colder when the rpm's are higher."

    Understood ... but not as dramatic as what I have or what silverbullet seems to be describing.

    "Were there any changes between '99 and '01?"

    There isn't supposed to be anything different other than the 'automatic' feature.

    If you check some of Marlins posts on replacing the AC pump, I believe he indicated that there was a difference in model years.

    Did you get your A/C problem fixed Silverbullet75 (Jim)? If you like I can put you back in your old ICE COLD 99 Astral and trade you for your luck warm 01..
