Back to subject, I really do appreciate the help yall have given me, I have recommended this site to any 2g that I see on the road. Hopefully I can get the AC working. I talked to the Mitsu Dealer yesterday, they said there is a sensor that reads the RPM to decide how strong to kick the clutch (I think thats what he said) but that you have to evacuate the system before replacing it. Is there any truth to that? Like I said, im not familiar with ACs.
Before you go replacing sensors, you need to first find out if the system even has a charge or not.
Exactly, easiest thing to do is buy one of those $15 recharge kits with a pressure guage and connect it up to the LOW side hose. there's a cap marked with an L. Start the car, set the HVAC controls for full blast cold and see what the pressure is. If it's low then adding some refrigerant may be what's needed to kick the system on. if it drains down again then you may need to have some hoses or seals replaced.
