'94, 2.4L 4X4 of course



About a week ago I notice that when I turn on the AC, it would smell a little then get cool. OK,no problem. As the days progressed, it was not cooling as well.

Today, I go by the local AC guy for a recharge. 2 cans later, he looking concerned. He shows me the manifold sight gauge. When he shakes the can, the sight glass has liquid and that its not getting sucked into the system. He tells me the expansion valve and dryer need to be replaced. I'm informed that it will take 3 hrs. to yank out evaporator box and replace everything.

I looked at the 93 FSM on this site(thanks) and it seem that a reasonably inclined person could replace these parts themselves.

I have to say that working in tight confines under the dash is frustrating at best. Countless things could go wrong.



Somebody please tell me this will be a piece of cake. That a trained monkey could do this. Any things to look out for?
