Where is the r143a refill valve??

[JOHN1242]

I see two spots to refill my AC on my Gen 1 and Gen2......the obvious one in the front is too large for the refill nozzle.... the one on the cannister by the firewall is too small. is there a 3rd thats just right(i sound like goldilocks and the 3 bears I know-sorry). all my other cars are easy access. or do i need an adaptor for that frontvalve? and they really all are 134a??HELP !! 100 degrees here in Michigan today!

anyway to send me a photo???


thanks, JOHN(now proud owner of a Gen 1 and a Gen2 !)

my nozzle seems too big for that one. how come. its fits every other car Ford or GM i've charged. what gives?

few questions for you. as this may not be your problem... is the ac fan blowing? is the compressor kicking on when you turn on max ac, is it staying on? or going on then off on then off?

the low pressure port is the thing you see in blue? did you remove the cap? are you lifting up on the connector with your fingers as you are connecting it?

do not over fill it as it will cost you ALOT of money if you do. it could be a blend door, a low pressure switch, high pressure switch, vclm, cooling fan, bad fan harness, bad blower motor, bad connection to the blower motor or a few other things. I just went through this so i would be glad to help you in any way i can. remember if the freon is low you have a leak. find the leak first or you will just release about $50 into the atmosphere
