buy some leak finder at your auto parts store add it into your system and find the leak and fix the leak, by replacing the leaking hose or fitting or part === after that you'll need someone to vacuum down your system before you add more R134 and then you ll be in coolness -- plan on replacing your accumulator/dryer at the time you fix your leak(it attracts moisture and will need to be replaced as well as the leak fixed)

I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT. I recently replaced the fuse for my air conditioner that blew a few days ago. Right before it blew the doors unlocked while going down the highway, and then I felt the warm air blowing into the car. I replaced the fuse again. And the first day I turned on the air it ran for about 30 minutes and then the doors unlocked and the air conditioner stopped working again. The blower works, just blows out hot air. Can someone offer suggestions on where to start looking for the cause of the short? 2 Answers

I have a 99 pontiac grand am se 3.4L V6. The issue is that it starts and idles fine but as soon as I go to accelerate it just shuts off. It did have overheating issues but right after I fixed those it started doing this. I replaced the cam position sensor and also the engine coolant temp sensor and it didnt help. I was thinking of replacing the ignition coil packs and housi g but not sure if that would fix it. There are no check engine lights or stored codes . 4 Answers
