Alrighty so i'm pretty new to this forum and my girlfriend is having a problem with her civics A/C

It leaks under the car, turns on but only spits out hot air. There is no noise, just sounds like air, but it aint cool. I'm not too sure about what it could be, i havn't really worked with A/C's or civics to much for that matter, ANY help would be greatly appreciated, i am trying to fix this ASAP since it is getting hotter every minute in FL lol

Thanks in advanced!

 

Does the condenser fan run and the compressor clutch engage?

What leaks?

 

i'll take a look at it when i can see it next and get back to you on that!
as far as i know the shop wanted to charge $600 to fix whatever it is, so idk lol. but like i said ill check everything and re-post tomorrow. thanks for quick response!

 

Water coming out is a good sign. You should also find that the line under the hood from the firewall back to the compressor is getting cold and sweaty. This means that the system is making cold air, but that cold air never reaches the vents because the heater is still on.

There is a valve on the firewall that turns off the heater when you set the temperature dial on the dash all the way to cold. If that doesn't work, the heater and A/C will fight each other, and the heater will win easily. Hot air will come out of the vents.

 

Well i just tried it today first hand and no air comes out at all
and there is a slight rattle coming from the passenger side vent
i checked the fan and it runs and the clutch engages, i am assuming, since the fan DOES turn on, i can hear it. and it is leaking cold water from the under side.
Hmmmm. the fuses and **** are all good i checked them, the engine is foreign to me so i have no idea what to look for exactly. heres some snap shots of the engine to help me help you hahaha :3

 

"No air comes out"-- by that do you mean that the interior fan does not work?

Your pictures don't show much, but the metal line that comes around the engine on top on the driver's side and has a screw cap thing on it where it goes down near the radiator is the one that should be getting cold and sweaty.

 

hmmm maybe the interior fan does not work.
because no, air does not come out of the vents, but i can hear something on lol.
and alrighty ill check that, and if its not cold and sweaty?
