Air Conditioner Problem
Ok here'* the deal. I recently just converted my AC over to R134a freon because I pulled the codes on my computer and I was getting a code 66. Well I changed everything over and my AC works for awhile and then shuts itself off. Do I need to reset my computer by unhooking the battery cable. I just did the diaginois of the AC and am getting a code 166 and 110. The temp sensor is going to be replaced soon as it is about 10 degrees high. But mainly my question is after refilling my AC system do I need to reset the computer to get rid of the code 66 that keeps shutting off my compressor? I drove all the way to work this morning and the thing didn't kick off until almost at work and going home tonite the AC worked just fine.

The code 66 means that your compressor is cycling too much, and the computer thinks it is low on R-134a. It may be a little low. However I have always been weary of converting a car with electronic climate control to R-134a because the charge is naturally less (80%).

I unhooked my battery and I'm still getting a code 66. Also the climate control diagostic shows that the outside temperature sensor is bad which will be replaced very shortly. Could it cause the compressor to cycle on and off more than necessary. The air blows cold when it does blow but then it kicks off for no apparent reason. It'* 90+ degrees here and I need my AC

Looks like Fuddy nailed this one, easier to stay with R12.
Here is a link with more info on converting to 134a if you must.

So basically i'm screwed with my AC unless I want to add some resistors. My AC worked fine today. Didn't kick off once. Oh well I guess I'll just have to live with what I did.

I can't verify whether or not the ECC system will take it - but I would check the vent temperature. Adding more R-134a may solve your problem... But you do not want to overcharge it.

you have to check pessure with the compresser running you mite have to jump out the pressure switch and the relay to keep compresser running when you get the correct pressure then erase the codes see if that works
