Well I finally figured out how to charge the damn AC with freon yesturday and man the AC was kicking cold. Worked all day yesturday but when I walked out to the car this morning... nothing. I checked the pressure in the AC system and it checked out good. What could have happend between last night and today?

Do you have the electronic climate control? And if so, does the temp display flash?

It should engage and disengage. If it does it too quickly, you have quite a leak.

Well, if it'* any consolation, a leak usually happens at a fitting somewhere, and is an easy fix... :?

May or may not be the case here, though.

Go to the auto parts store and get the 'leak dye'. It'll come out at the leak point, and you'll see it.
