You probably need to check and see if you have freon and there is  pressure in the system

My poor Fiero seems to have a fuel leak again.  Trying to figure out where.

I've had 2 recent issues with AC.  First, MikeMac found that one of the pressure switches was unplug.  Then recently, it stopped workin again.  Scott discovered the belt had come off and was behind the compressor pulley.  Then a garage discovered the compressor was locked when they were putting the belt back on. 

Low refrigerant won't allow the compressor to come on.  Also, bad pressure switches on the compressor or at the receiver/dryer will have the same effect.

Has the relay gone bad? Fuse blown? I would check those first before you start trying to find a leak. Easy stuff first

If the relay shows good then you probably do have a leak..... I can use my sniffer to find it. We will all be at my shop Saturday

How I wish I could be there, but have 2 wedding anniversaries coming up.

I have 3 big issues: fuel leak, oil leak, and AC not working.  I'm waiting on the engine bay to cool, before checking on the fuel again.

When the AC did work, the dryer would get icy, but it was just cool in the cabin.

did the compressor ever fail? Those symptoms sound like a case of black death where the compressor failed and the evaporator is stopped up. I don't think it can be cleaned. Only cure is replacement

The last compressor did fail.  Since then, just about everything has been replaced.

Oddly, when things ice over, it's an indication of low refrigerant.  My home AC was doing that last year.  Didn't cool the house worth a darn, but the heat pump was caked in ice.  Pinhole leak in one of the lines.

That makes me feel better.  The idea of replacing the evaporator again...does not fill me with joy.

My poor Fiero seems to have a fuel leak again.  Trying to figure out where.

I checked again, high and low for a leak.  Nothing.  It smelled like raw fuel, the other day.  The injdctors are dry, with no evidence of having leaked.  I ran the engine for a while, but neither saw nor smelled any leaks.  So, I went for a short drive.  Nothing.  I made several stops.  Nothing.  Filled up with fuel.  Nothing.

Rrrrrrgh!
