VJZ Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I have spent months trolling the CL forums and have been tired of the way they handle members there. I have decided to start my 97+ conversion for this summer. Here is what I want to accomplish this summer: 97+ front bumper cover 97+ bumper grille 98-04 Dodge Intrepid fog lights with modification to fit 97+ SC bumper cover. Front clip respray Fix the AC: When I got the car, the compressor would "cycle". I got a 95 R134A compressor and it does not work. Still throws code 23 of low pressure or whatever. Do you think just getting a new compressor would fix this? I also want to fix the passenger side door so it opens from the inside. Also, I notice now that along with the Ebay headlight assemblies, there are now Ebay high beam assembly listings with projector headlights. Anyone have the low or high beams from ebay yet?

xaine Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 code 23 is pressure switch curcuit did you evac and charge the system properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VJZ Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 I haven't yet. I'm waiting to afford a reman compressor from this reputable guy on Ebay. He sells reman SC300 Denso OEM compressors for about $220 USD shipped to my door. Friends have used him for a few other cars and rate his service well. As soon as I change the compressor, should I THEN evac and recharge? Any thoughts on my 97+ update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbarhorst2 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Im not sure the compressor is your problem. The compressor may not be running to protect itself from the low pressure. A common problem is a hole that gets worn in the AC lines that run near the bottom of the radiator. You may find a leak there. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VJZ Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 The compressor was cycling, which indicates a bad compressor. It can't hold anything coming into it. This was checked at a repair shop by an AC professional. And I have decided on the Ebay Headlights. W00T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VJZ Posted May 24, 2008 Author Share Posted May 24, 2008 Oh and JZZ30, the 97 skirts and rear aren't a priority. The will most likely come not next summer but the summer after. Next summer the 72 Celica gets some major rust work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
