AC problem, long true story by a dummy 850 1995

say there... i couldn't help but chuckle about the oily, yellow/green gook under the hood.

the A/C compressor in my 850 is cycling on/off every few seconds and i have a can or two of the newer 134a refrigerant in the basement. which port do you use to refill/recharge the system on the 850? i will take another look in my haynes and/or chilton manual tonight (it's my bedtime reading these days). i recall seeing one A/C port when i was snooping around under my hood one day... but where is the other one?

i seem to recall the writeup in the haynes manual didn't make it very clear.

the hot water on old spray cans is a good trick, eh?!!... been using it for years, my wife used to roll her eyes when when her hairspray would run out and i'd tell her to run it under hot water. but, her hair helmet would be locked in place for the day!
