Compressor Service
* PLEASE READ THIS FIRST *
CAUTION: When discharging air conditioning system, use only approved
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Make every attempt
to avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere.
ISOLATING COMPRESSOR
NOTE: Only compressors with stem-type service valves can be
isolated.
1) Connect service gauge set to the compressor service valves
and open compressor valves slightly (turn in clockwise). Start engine
and operate air conditioning. Slowly turn compressor suction valve
clockwise toward closed (front-seated) position.
2) When suction pressure is reduced to zero or less, turn off
engine and compressor and quickly turn suction valve stem in to full
front-seated position. Suction pressure should be slightly above zero.
Turn discharge valve into front-seated position.
3) To check oil level, slowly open compressor crankcase plug
to relieve any remaining pressure. After oil level is corrected, cap
service gauge ports on both valves. Back-seat suction service valve to
allow refrigerant to enter compressor. Open discharge valve halfway.
4) Loosen discharge service valve cap, allowing refrigerant
pressure to force air out of compressor. Back-seat service valve and
tighten cap. Compressor is now ready for operation.
REFRIGERANT OIL
Only new, pure, moisture-free refrigerant oil should be used
in the air conditioning system. This oil is highly refined and
dehydrated to a point where moisture content is less than 10 parts per
million. The oil container must be tightly closed at all times when
not in use, or moisture will be absorbed into the refrigerant oil from
the air.
DISCHARGING SYSTEM PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: When discharging air conditioning system, use only approved
refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment. Make every attempt
to avoid discharging refrigerant into the atmosphere.
If compressor has stem-type service valves, it can be
isolated and removed without discharging entire system. Otherwise,
discharge system completely using approved refrigerant
recovery/recycling equipment before loosening any fittings.
DISCONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS TEST
After system is discharged, carefully clean area around all
fittings to be opened. Always use 2 wrenches when tightening or
loosening fittings to avoid twisting or distorting lines. Cap or plug
all openings as soon as lines are removed. Do not remove caps until

Removal
1) Hold clutch plate and remove shaft nut. Using Clutch Plate
Remover (64 5 00), remove clutch plate. Using snap ring pliers, remove\

system is in operation. This high pressure could rupture can
or fitting at safety can valve, resulting in damage and
personal injury.
CONNECTING LINES & FITTINGS
A new "O" ring should be used in all instances when
connecting lines and fittings (dip "O" ring in clean refrigeration oil
and make certain it is not twisted during installation). Always use
two wrenches to avoid twisting or distorting lines and fittings,
tighten coupling nuts securely.
PLACING SYSTEM IN OPERATION
After component replacement and/or system servicing has been
completed and all connections have been made, proceed as follows:
1) Evacuate the system using a vacuum pump.
2) Charge the system with new R-12 (refrigerant) according t\
o
each individual vehicle as outlined in the
GENERAL COOLING SYSTEM SERVICING article. Also see Refrigerant
Capacity in this Section.
3) Leak test the system, with particular attention to all new
connections and components.
4) Make a performance test of the system. Never assume that a
recharging has automatically corrected a problem.
COMPRESSOR REMOVAL INFORMATION - ISOLATION METHOD
On systems which have compressors equipped with stem-type
service valves (Tecumseh), it is possible to isolate the compressor
for removal.
Isolating
Turn both high and low pressure manual valves to extreme
clockwise (front seat) position. Loosen cap on high pressure manual
valve connection to compressor and allow gas to escape until
compressor is relieved of pressure.
COMPRESSOR REMOVAL INFORMATION - DISCHARGE METHOD
This procedure is to be used on vehicles which have
compressor equipped with Schrader service valves. In these cases, the
compressor cannot be isolated and the system must be discharged, using
approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment, prior to compressor
removal.

Test No. 1
1) Loosen throttle cable. Turn ignition on for more than 15
seconds. DO NOT start engine. Turn ignition off. This should fully
retract ISC motor plunger.
2) On 2.0L Galant (VIN V), connect jumper wire between
ignition timing adjustment connector and ground. See IGNITION TIMING
ADJUSTMENT CONNECTOR LOCATION table under IGNITION TIMING.
3) On all models, disconnect harness connector(s) from Idle
Speed Control (ISC) motor. Ensure ISC plunger is in fully retracted
position. Unscrew fixed Speed Adjusting Screw (SAS) until throttle
valve is fully closed. See Fig. 1.
CAUTION: When cleaning throttle body, plug air by-pass hole in
throttle body to prevent solvent from entering passage.
4) Start engine. Check basic idle speed. See IDLE SPEED
SPECIFICATIONS table. If basic idle speed is within specification, go
to step 7). If basic idle speed is not within specification, remove
air intake hose and clean throttle body. Reconnect air intake hose.
Recheck basic idle speed.
5) If basic idle speed is still not within specification
after cleaning throttle body, adjust basic idle speed by turning idle
speed adjusting screw. See Fig. 1. After adjusting basic idle speed,
turn fixed SAS screw clockwise until engine speed begins to increase.
6) Turn fixed SAS screw counterclockwise until engine speed
decreases. Turn fixed SAS screw counterclockwise an additional 1/2
turn from point at which engine speed no longer decreases. Turn off
engine.
7) Adjust throttle cable. Reconnect harness connector(s) at
ISC motor. Start engine. Operate engine for about 5 minutes. Ensure
engine idles within curb idle speed specification. See IDLE SPEED
SPECIFICATIONS table.
8) Turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable for
at least 10 seconds to clear diagnostic trouble code. Reconnect
negative battery cable. Operate engine at idle for about 5 minutes to
ensure engine idles smoothly.
Test No. 2
1) Locate ignition timing adjustment connector. See IGNITION
TIMING ADJUSTMENT CONNECTOR LOCATION table under IGNITION TIMING.
Connect jumper wire between ignition timing adjustment connector and
ground.
2) Locate diagnostic connector under instrument panel.
Connect jumper wire between diagnostic connector terminal No. 10
(White wire) and ground. See Fig. 3. Start engine. Check basic idle
speed. See IDLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table. If basic idle speed is
within specification, go to step 9). If basic idle speed is not within
specification, go to step 3).
3) Remove air intake hose. Check throttle body. If throttle
body contains deposits, go to next step. If throttle body is clean,
disconnect jumper wires connected in steps 1) and 2). On all models
except Eclipse, Galant and Mirage, go to step 6). On Eclipse, Galant
and Mirage, go to step 5).
CAUTION: When cleaning throttle body, plug air by-pass hole in
