POS 2001 Eldorado Air-Conditoning out again. 3 freaking times in the last 2 yeas. Low on refrigerant.

Mother-in-laws Camry perfect since 1996, she has done NOTHING TO IT!!!!!!!!!

Should have purchased a Toyota.

Just add a can of refrigerant. Are the caps on the service ports? They are an integral part of sealing the system. I realize you should not have to, but it is easier than replacing a compressor.

Are you going to get that kind of horsepower from a Toyota ?
If so which one and how much ?

The usual place to leak is through the compressor seal. It's a good idea to exercise the compressor a couple times a month even in the winter. Just turn on the A/C for a few moments to keep the seal lubricated. Fords do this automatically.

Mk 4 Supra with the 2JZ-GTE engine puts out 320 hp stock, and much more when tuned. Seriously though, you couldn't possibly compare it to an Eldorado.

I've done this regularly, and never had any problems with the AC. It's especially important down here where the winters are long and cold.
