Richard, the correct quantity is 32oz. Effectively 2 1/2 twelve ounce cans of R-134. Additionally, if the system is dumped, you'll need to add a minimum of 8oz of Ester oil, and no more than 10oz. Yes, the system spec is for 13oz Ester oil. A considerable amount remains in the...

Richard, I just replaced the orifice in my 97 S10E and my mechanic and I put in 2.2 pounds R134 after replacement. (Two pounds for the compressor and a little more for the lines) It seems to be working fine, no DTC's and when the charger is running and the ac is cooling the pa...

I had an NiMH '98 truck (and a couple of EV1s), and the explanation we were given at the time was that the truck had the same motor as the coupe, electronically de-tuned from 100Kw to 85Kw to extend the range. Even allowing for the truck's additional weight and poorer aerodyna...

This must be a Gen 2 (or Gen2+) charger - serial number starting with SM45276P or SM4770P. You can delay the start of charging, but you can't stop charging once it's started. The charger's timer is set up to inhibit the start of charging during peak utility times. There are st...
