A/C issue. Blows cold then HOT till i rev.

[whatsupadrian]

Just went on a trip to Las Vegas, AC was acting up. At first it blows cold, then after a while it warms up, once in a while it will blow very hot air and will continue to blow hot air untill i get my RPMs close to 3k, then it will blow cold again for a little while. Does this sound like a recharge issue or something more serious. Don't want to pay the dealer 100$ to tell me my AC is broken and its gonna cost another 435436$ to fix. Thanks.

It might be something as simple as a recharge but my dad had a similar issue in his cadillac. It turned out it was low on coolant so make sure to check your coolant. However, it was low on coolant because the radiator had a small leak. Eventually he had to replace the rad...

Sounds to me like your DCCV is going bad. When mine went bad it was doing the same thing and i would smash out in the car and it would blow cold again. I can almosr guarantee thats your problem.

thanks, sooo how much was the fix?

If you have to ask, you might wanna do it yourself.

Why don't you take the car to a shop, and make sure it's the DCCV, first?

$90 bucks as opposed to a few hundred for replacing a potentially good DCCV. Hmmm...

I'm just trying to get a ballpark of what this would cost. If its a DIY job then I wouldn't mind taking a shot. I'v taken my dash apart many times. I don't wanna screw with the condenser or anything that might be under pressure. I'll let the pros do that. I know the dealership will charge $100 just to tell me what the problem is.

 

[Frogman]

Well guy... The problem is, we can't quite always accurately diagnose a car over the internet. It would be nice, but... you know. Just doesn't work 100% of the time.

Anything is a DIY on a car if you have the proper tools, knowledge and time.

As far as ballpark... I don't know. Plan for $3000 dollars. Shouldn't be more than that.

Wow, you sound like an arrogant prick to me. I wasn't asking how much it's going to cost me, I was curious to know how much it cost SlickLS to fix his similar problem. I was simply asking a forum of people with like interest in automobiles what their opinion on my problem was. You come poking in here like yours something special talking down to me as if I didn't know squat. I see how you got your 4,000 posts. Giving your .02cents with no relevant input.. I been around here a bit longer then you, there's no need to treat me like a noob. Since you don't seem to have anything constructive to say GTFO!

 

[Frogman]

Wow, you sound like an arrogant prick to me.

Uhh.. You've been here since 05 and you just realized this? Fail!

I wasn't asking how much it's going to cost me

So you're not asking how much this is going to cost YOU? Are mommy and daddy paying for the repair, then? In that case... I stand corrected.

No, you asked

Opinions don't fix cars. How in hell are we supposed to know if you've got a small leak in your A/C system, or if your say, DCCV valve is going out? Air Conditioning is not the same as say, something simple as brakes. Lots more parts can go bad on an Air conditioning/HVAC system. Just because one person has similar problems as you, it doesn't mean you'll experience the same problems... especially when it comes to Air Conditioning.

You come poking in here like yours something special talking down to me as if I didn't know squat.

Oh, it's obvious you have no idea. But talking down to you? No. I can[/c], if you'd like me to though.

Oh, noes! Another pinhead who's read EVERY SINGLE post of mine. Dude, you either have too much time on your hands, or you're assuming I'm always an ass. And you know what assuming does to you, right?

Why is it that when people have nothing better to argue, they bring up the "you have so many posts, and never say anything good" line? Really? Read ALL of my posts. If you find just ONE post where I have something good to say, your argument just went down the crapper.

Now then... Go ask mommy and daddy for money to fix your... their...? LS.

 

[SlickLS]

Wow things got heated quick, but to answer your question its a do it yourself if you know alittle thing or two about cars. You might want to go ahead and change the sway bar bushings while you are down there. DCCV on the LS is always going out so why not just change it. If it looks like a pig, smells like a pig, and acts like a pig then it's prolly a pig. you know?

This is my last post to you. You're just another forum troll, there are many like you all over the net. You think you know more then the next guy and talk big but don't provide anything to back it. My advice to you is to see professional help form a psychiatrist. I'm willing to bet your problems stem much further then acting like a big shot on car forums. You probably have serious social issues and use the internet to live out your fantasy life. You try to twist words to win arguments, reread what I said and maybe you will understand, but I'm not holding my breath.

Very good with the old "ASS-U-ME" line. I haven't heard that one before, you're real original. Let me point out a few assumptions you made, HYPOCRITE!

"$90 bucks as opposed to a few hundred for replacing a potentially good DCCV."
-I'm sure you looked up how much the part will cost.

"Are mommy and daddy paying for the repair, then? In that case... I stand corrected."
-You're not assuming anything here. Did mommy and daddy not love you enough?

"Oh, it's obvious you have no idea."
-I could be your daddy for all you know.

"Another pinhead who's read EVERY SINGLE post of mine."
-Like I have time to research every douche who has something to say on the web.

"Dude, you either have too much time on your hands, or you're assuming I'm always an ass."
-Really it's either of those too things?

"Now then... Go ask mommy and daddy for money to fix your... their...? LS."
-Again you don't really know what your talking about.

There won't wont be another drawn out thread here. Your ignored, piss off someone else kid. And if I assumed wrong that you're not a kid, then grow up!




Thank you SlickLS for the help.

This is my last post to you.

Aww. Just when it was getting fun....

You're just another forum troll, there are many like you all over the net.

Freud, move over. This guy has you beat on psychology. Apparently, he has me all figured out... OVER THE INTERNET! wow... Where did you get your PhD from, Dr. Adrian?

You think you know more then the next guy and talk big but don't provide anything to back it.

I never said, claimed or otherwise implied I know more than some of the guys here. But you'd know, seeing how you've read EVERY single one of my posts... you haven't? Well damn... There you fail again!... Such a shame.
Ass #1

My advice to you is to see professional help form a psychiatrist.

I do that 3 times a year. It's work related mandatory. So far... they say I'm a little nuts, but still relatively sane. Maybe I should have Dr. Adrian call them and tell them you got me all figured out... over the internet!

I'm willing to bet your problems stem much further then acting like a big shot on car forums.

I can only laugh at that comment. I am curious though... How did you arrive at the deduction that I act like a big shot on the forums? You read ALL of my posts, didn't you? Oh. Silly me... Must be that Cracker Jack psychiatry degree again.

You probably have serious social issues and use the internet to live out your fantasy life.

Oh. So I'm supposed to live my REAL life on the internet? WTF would I do in real life then? That makes no sense, Dr. Adrian. Care to expand on this a little, please?

You try to twist words to win arguments, reread what I said and maybe you will understand, but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't TRY to twist words. No need, when people like you open mouth and insert foot... voluntarily.

Very good with the old "ASS-U-ME" line. I haven't heard that one before, you're real original. Let me point out a few assumptions you made, HYPOCRITE!

I never said all of my material is original, now did I?

"$90 bucks as opposed to a few hundred for replacing a potentially good DCCV."
-I'm sure you looked up how much the part will cost.

A few hundred could be anything from $200.01 to $999.99. So, technically... I was correct. Add labor in the equation, and I bet you'll be over $200.01.

"Are mommy and daddy paying for the repair, then? In that case... I stand corrected."
-You're not assuming anything here.

Oh, so mommy and daddy ARE paying for your LS? Must be nice! Would they maybe consider adopting me?

Did mommy and daddy not love you enough?

Nope. They sure didn't. When I was a kid, they hated me so much, I never had any toys to play with... Only thing I had to play with, were my nuts... So... I got pretty good at playing with my nuts.

"Oh, it's obvious you have no idea."
-I could be your daddy for all you know.

Daddy!? Why didn't you love me?... Oh wait... My Daddy's name isn't Adrian. And he wasn't an internet shrink. He was an honest to goodness Veterinarian in the old country.

"Another pinhead who's read EVERY SINGLE post of mine."
-Like I have time to research every douche who has something to say on the web.

There you go. You just failed... AGAIN! You're losing credibility here, Adrian.

"Dude, you either have too much time on your hands, or you're assuming I'm always an ass."
-Really it's either of those too things?

Yeah... You would have known which one it is, had you... I don't know... read ALL my posts?. But since you didn't, you're making an ass of yourself.

Wait... Who died and made you the forums administrator, again? I must have missed that memo. Would you forward me a copy of it?

Provide useful information to a little snotnosed pinhead like you? Yeah... That will be the day.

I'm not wanted around here? This is coming from some schmuck who thinks he's hot stuff because he owns an (it's "an", not "a", as you seem to think), LS?

Dude... Grow up. Seriously. I don't have an LS because I can actually afford REAL luxury performance vehicles. And I use the term "performance" loosely when I speak of your cute little LS.

My posing ass? LMAO! Really? That's the best you can muster? Wow... How am I posing, again? Please, explain to me how exactly I'm "posing". I'm curious to see how hard you'll fail at that explanation... that is, if you can even put your thoughts down on paper in a coherent manner.

I will make it a point to ride your ass from now on. It will be fun, I promise.

Oh, and for the record? It's spelled "definitely", not "definAtely". The supposed idiot showing up the smart kid in the LS... Go back to school. Better yet, go here:

Either you can't spell to save your life, or I'm getting to you. Makes no difference to me, the funny factor will be the same.
