I have a 2001 accord coupe exl and my a/c isn't working when I turn the a/c on the compressor kicks in then shuts off and blows hot air. I just bought the car. Just need some opinions.

Professional if u never done it. its more complicated than u think. You probably have a clogged reciever dryer. Turn the ac on again and feel if one of the pipes gets cold.

The compressor wont turn on unless there is freon in the system


U can go and get a diy kit but u will most likely overfill if u dont know how much to fill. And that will destroy ur compressor

Take it to a professional. I highly don't recommend a DIY for this.

If your autotragic, that's just something you have to get use to. Mine use to be like that. I replaced everything and it went away. No matter what though, your car will always feel sluggish with the A/C on.
