    Hi,

    The AC wasn’t cooling properly. The mechanic added some freeon (?)
    and it started working again but only for a WEEK! Now, it blows just
    warm air!
    I live in the South, which is super-hot.
    Any ideas/solutions?

    Thanks a lot!

    Thanks JeB but the mechanic checked for leaks and didn’t find
    anything. Any other ideas/suggestions?

    If it was blowing hot and the mech added freon then it blew cold for a
    short while ( a few days) but now is blowing hot again, you have a leak.

    If the leak is located in the evaporator coil, where many are, they can be
    difficult to see (find) without taking the dash apart to get to it.

    Take it to a different shop.
    Have your checkbook ready.

    My 96 Honda Accord EX (Canadian model) had the same problem last year. It
    was evaporator leaking. I had to replace the evaporator. It costed 70 CAD
    (58 USD) for adding R134 with dye to detect the leak and 450 CAD (370 USD)
    to replace the evaporator with a used one from a 98 model. BTW, the
    evaporator leak is a common problem for 94-97 Honda Accord due to design.
    Need to replace it with some newer design.
