gbhrps Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 lexi95, Chances are that you are down on refrigerant due to a leak in the system somewhere. Its fairly easy to diagnose and may be fairly cheap to correct, providing your compressor or the cooling radiator inside the heater box aren't where the leak is. Most good garages can do the diagnosis for you. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUMan Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The expansion valve is probably sticking. This is a very common problem on the mid-90's ES models. It has been discussed numerous times on this forum. Do a search, entering "expansion valve." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_diesel85 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 CUMan is right. It's your expansion valve. I drive a 94 es300 and mine did the same a few summers ago and I thought it was the refrigerant getting low but my valve was sticking. If a/c is important to you then better get it fixed before summer starts. Cost me around $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
