I just picked up a 2002 Intrepid for $1,000. We needed a 2nd car so we took it. So far i feel like we've got quite the steal. However, the A/C just doesn't turn the cold air quick enough.
My first thought was it must need Freon. I went down to Advance Auto Parts and they told me that Freon doesn't exist anymore, and the sold me a bottle of R-134a.
I bought a 22 dollar can that comes with a hose, coupler, guage, trigger and then the bottle of R-134a. Interdynamics Arctic Freeze is the brand.
Problem is when I went home to put it on I looked eveywhere for the A/C valve and I think i found it. It's on the left side of the car on an aluminum tube almost right next to the battery. It has a large black dust cap on it. The coupler does not fit on it though. It looks like it's got a "tit" sticking up and my coupler also has a "tit." Just doesn't seem right to me...and it definitely doesn't push on. Do i need some sort of adapter or something? Is R-134a the stuff I'm supposed to be using?
