Default Air Conditioning Broke After Header Install

Hey MF'ers,

Well.. title says it all. Installed the FRPP Ceramic Shorties and haven't needed to use AC yet. Got in today and turned it on, and it blows, but it does not cool. Tried all different settings, and nothing. Just blows hot.

Any ideas?

Do you have any UDPs installed, and/or a modified tune? Is this when you are idle or when you drive around a bit?

These cars are notorious, at least in my area, for blowing out the clutch on the compressor. My compressor has been changed twice already. Take it in and see what they say before he writes anything down at the dealer.

I think there is a TSB on the clutch for the air conditioner as well btw.

happened to me last year and it just needed an r12 recharge. Bought the kit and did it myself. I have a very small leak I think

I don't have a tune installed yet, and it happens at all times, no UDPs yet. I'll look for the TSB on it. Anything *I* can look for, before I start getting my stealer involved to troubleshoot? Thanks!

r12 recharge? Freon hasn't been used for years man. It's r134a they are putting in there now.

I just checked all the TSBs for A/C-related, and nothing comes up for the 2008.
