Hey guys, I just replaced the A/C compressor and recharged the A/C on my 1997 wrangler. It is still blowing only slightly cool air. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hey man - did you evacuate the system using a vacuum pump before recharging it? Was the accumulator/dryer also replaced? Thirdly, how much oil did you put in?
Common mistake when installing a new compressor is adding too much oil - the new compressor may have come preloaded with a full charge of oil. Unless your system was flushed of old oil, it could have too much in this case.
Another issue - why was the old compressor changed? Did the clutch die or did it just lock up?
Im assuming you added refrigerant with manifold gauges - if not, you’ll need to check low/high side pressures before I can speculate any more [emoji6]

No doubt the best method of course [emoji6] - empty system - no air - proper charge
